As for present affairs, many golf experts also seem to have written Woods off, in this upcoming Masters and beyond. It makes sense to temper expectations, given what we've seen from him -- and his short game -- in the past year. But USA Today's Chris Chase urges us to keep our eye on the ball: "These same folks don't seem to remember that Tiger won four tournaments in 2012 and five tournaments in 2013," he writes. "To put that into perspective, only 11 active players have that many wins in their careers. He's been great as recently as 16 months ago."
There will come a day, perhaps soon, when Tiger Woods decides he's done with golf. Until that happens, he should face lower expectations without being completely written off. He still has the power to single-handedly revitalize golf with one stellar major weekend.
