The Tiger Woods era of golf is over. His dominance that spanned a little over a decade has come to a halt due to an inability to stay healthy. Woods had won major after major in the mid 90′s to the 2008 U.S. Open where he defeated the likable Rocco Mediate by one stroke.
Woods’ personal life has also been of no help to his golf career. The golfer has divorced his wife due to marriage infidelity. This disturbance in his personal life has translated over to the golf course. Once known as the mentally toughest player on the planet, Woods now possesses a weak psyche that is affecting his performances.
When Woods stepped up to the tee during his prime, the other competitors were scared of this monster. Nobody truly believed they could be Woods because they couldn’t. His ability to strike the ball up to 300 yards and his amazing accuracy with irons on the fairway was unmatched. He could putt with the best of them and during pressure situations, he putted even better than that. With age and injuries coupled with personal problems entering Woods’ life, the era of dominance for Woods is over. He will not surpass Nicklaus’ major record.
