I wouldnt be surprised if thats part of the reason he looks like he's taking more poor shots. I still wouldnt be surprised if he won the British this weekend and/or the PGA.. but next year I think he'll be really tough. Its just crazy how when he doesnt even seem to play awesome, he still finishes in the top 5 or 10... its to be expected every week now, its amazing.

I'm not disagreeing with you on his greatness. And like you, I am a huge fan.
What I dont like is all the non stop coverage he gets and the neglect the other guys get, many of whom are ahead of him in tournaments. There were a couple of guys in the US Open who were closer to the lead in the final round that got absolutely no coverage, yet Tiger's every shot was shown.

I doubt Tiger is excited about 6th place finishes. Thats like Roger Federer only reaching the semis of a Grand Slam. Its like Albert Pujols only driving in 98RBI in a given year. For a guy (Tiger) who much wasnt expected of this year, hes always being made the odds on favorite to win every tournament he competes in.

I'd be surprised if he wins this weekend but thrilled to see him get major #15.
