Re: Tiger takes control in Player of the Year race
Yeah, Tiger's a total stud. I think a lot of people, myself included probably, underestimated the recovery time on his knee. He played hurt all last year and played well. I think these surgeries that are more routine now are harder to come back from than people think. When you are an athlete the recovery is in some respects tougher than for the average guy. Yeah, you're in better shape, but you are doing such demanding and precise things with your body that being a little off makes a huge difference. Tiger's swing was off all year and he didn't putt all that well sometimes. I was shocked when they said he was the worst on Tour this year in the 30 foot range. And he still has won 5X. Look for a colossal 2004 out of Tiger, he just might do some things beyond what we expect from him.
