The guy is a machine. He is completely obliterating the field today at the PGA. In my mind he has cemented himself as the best golfer ever.
Hogan, Palmer & Nicklaus were all great but Tiger has proved time and time again that he is the best.
He has competed in an age against great golfers and proved that he is the best. Nothing fazes him. His mental toughness is second to none.
And to cap it off, he is only 30 years old!

I'm not a big Tiger fan but I can appreciate greatness when I see it. 18 under in a major? That is crazy.

Here is the sick thing about Tiger.
In his last two major wins. (The British and the PGA) He has basically left his driver in the bag.
He is something like 12-0 when tied in the lead in Major championships.
When Tiger is on his game no one is even close. Not Phil, Not Sergio, no one.
The only real blemish on his career is his record in the Ryder Cup. I expect that will change as well in a few weeks.

I'm just amazed by the guy. He is IMO the most clutch athlete in the World. And yes, I used the word athlete when speaking about a golfer!
