Tiger’s Only Competition is The Ghost of Tournaments Past

Every time [[Tiger]] tees it up it seems, he’s setting a new record or chasing an old one.

Nothing better explains the magnitude of Woods’s domination of professional golf, perhaps, than this reality: Still just 26 years old, he steps into the history books almost weekly.

Case in point: This weekend’s bid to win a fourth straight Memorial would put him in select company. Only Gene Sarazen (Miami Open, 1926, ’28-30) and Walter Hagen (PGA Championship, 1924-27) have won the same tournament four times in a row.

The entire tour seems to be caught in the headlights of the on-rushing [[Tiger]].
