| TW with the King |
If the WGC Cadillac Championship didn't show it, let the records show that Tiger Woods is officially best player in the world right now.
And even if you didn't need the statistics, you could tell that it's not even close right now.
Bar none, Tiger is being Tiger again. With 3 wins this early in the season, the days of him struggling (2010-2011) seem long gone now. He's putting like he did 5 years ago, and his short game is as rock solid as ever. Everything seems to be clicking.
His "intimidation" factor also seems to be in full effect again. Fowler faded on 16 (triple bogey), Rose struggled late in the 3rd round, and G-Mac couldn't make any putts at the Cadillac Champ. Pros are once again starting to realize what it's like to play in the black hole known as Tiger Woods.
Tiger's 2 shot victory today at the API gives him the number 1 ranking and some serious momentum heading into Augusta. He's obviously the big favorite for The Masters, and rightfully so. And even though the "purists" out there will say he isn't back until he snatches up a major championship, I think they know it's a matter of "when" rather than "if" now.
That's a great thing to have for us golf fans, and a terrible thing out there for the other professionals. Because unless someone steps up to TW, we could be in for a "2000 season" all over again.
Congrats, Tiger.
