Upon my viewing of the 110th US Open at Pebble Beach on Sunday I realized something that has been missing this year. Tiger Woods has lost something from his past. It was something that caused millions of casual sports fans to tune in for a final round on Sunday afternoon. Tiger has lost his mystique. It has been fading for some time but has died in 2010. He doesn't have the same presence and aura. Tiger's late charges have been few and far between. The field has stopped looking over their shoulder.
Many people might think this has to do with the now infamous scandal. This is not an Elin thing, this is an Eldrick thing. Today, there are many players who now have the confidence to win. Lefty is not the player of the late 90's or early 2000's. He is a player who wins. Tiger's door is closing. Will he get to the once guaranteed 18 majors? Maybe. Is it a sure thing? Not Anymore.
Tiger changed golf with his workouts off the course. The field now has the same workout ethic as he does. Tiger, get back to basics.Please hit a fairway, strike an iron clean, and putt like you know its going in. After watching yesterday Tiger needs to change his approach. Four Majors and a few famed events won’t cut it anymore. Tiger needs to know, the field is too good for that.
