The 2008 US Open was arguably one of the most impressive rounds in golf's history, when on a bad knee, Tiger Woods came from behind, and with an amazing birdie put on the final hole, forced an 18 hole playoff with Rocko Medeate. With every shot hit he would grimace in pain, but some how managed to pull it off.
After the Open, Tiger under went knee surgery to repair the damage. After 8 months of rehab, he reentered. After watching him the past 4 or 5 tournaments we are all asking the question, "Will Tiger ever be 'Tiger' again?" If you take a step back and look at what he's accomplished, it's still quite amazing. All top ten finishes and one win. Playing like that is more than an amazing career for any other golfer, but just because we are talking about Tiger its not the same.
Tiger has come close the last few tournaments but has just come up short. He made a run at the players, but his drives just weren't there. And at the other tournaments he's played in, he has had trouble hitting the fairways and has been missing makable putts.
I think the competition is getting better and better every year, so Tiger doesn't look quite as dominate as he once did. Once his tee shots are back to full strength and he can start hitting fairways consistently, he will once again be a force to be reckond with, but I personally think the days of Tiger being the sole ruler of the golf world are slowly coming to an end.

Just give Tiger a few more rounds. As you know golf is a tough game and a lot is mental. He will be back and will be as good as ever. He will one day break Jack's record for alltime majors.
