I said it when he first got caught, he’s done. He wont catch Jack. Too many distractions and his age is now a problem. 5 more majors would be a miracle.
I don’t disagree. People who haven’t had knee problems don’t understand. However, if he got the right orthotics he might be back to his old self. I don’t like him, personally, but he’s probably the best of all time. Has no weakness in his game. Worked his ass off to get there. Impressive person.
It started even before he got caught, at the 2009 PGA Championship. Eldrick had a 2-shot lead over Y.E. Yang going into the final round, and lost the tourney by 3 (to Y.E.). The first time he’d ever blown a major in the final around, and it was to the guy he was playing with. Lost his aura of (near) invincibility after that. Three months later, personal disaster struck.
Yep, the chance of him catching Jack’s record is pretty close to ...jack. Way too much working against him.
And even if he did catch Jack there would always be an asterisk next to his name, Tiger was a major juicer. Which in itself was amazingly stupid, he was tearing up the course before he started juicing.
