Tiger Woods in his prime?
Tiger Woods has been on an unbelievable streak lately. You could actually claim that he has been on a winning streak his whole life. Tiger now in his early thirties is probably playing better than ever. His swing is tight and his focus has only gotten stronger. Not only does he have the most natural talent out of anyone on tour, he simply outworks the field. Every now and then another pro will challenge him with some comments to the press, but they never live up to it. Most likely it’s for their own purpose to motivate themselves. Deep down they all know that he is the best.


That being said back to my original reason for writing this post. I just want to know will this be the year he is going to win the grand slam. Not the “Tiger Slam”, but the grand slam of golf. It’s hard to imagine him having a better chance at it than in the next three year span. From an age perspective golf works differently than most sports. You need a perfect combination of mental stability, physical talent, and hand eye coordination. They all need to work simultaneously with nothing missing a beat to have a chance every week. Based on Tiger’s maturity, skill, and mental state right now I feel this will be the year of the grand slam for him. Maybe that will all end in a couple weeks since the Masters is upon us, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say I think not. Regardless enjoy the ride because we all should feel lucky to be alive while Tiger Woods is in his pro golf prime.
