Can We Stop Doubting Tiger, please? Masters his

Here’s a new flash for Tim and the rest of the contrarians: Tiger Woods is no Phil Mickelson. Tiger’s back. He showed it at Doral when he outdrove Mickelson and turned the people’s choker into a quivering mound of yips in that one-on-one Sunday showdown. And for those too dense to see it then, he emphatically showed it again today at Augusta.

Only Tiger could come back from putting into the pond and knocking a shot off a tree. Can you imagine Phil rebounding from that? He’d need six months of therapy to ever contend again. Woods shrugged it off in less than 24 hours.

This is why Tiger’s always been the best and always will be the best. Jack Nicklaus’ majors wins record remains on the endangered list, just like it always has ever since Woods burst onto the scene. It might take McDonald and friends a few more majors to see this, but hey they have time. Tiger’s going to be dominating for a long, long stretch.
