A simple statement that he is losing steam really gets people worked up, even angry.
You really beleive thta? You said more then that.
And you were surpised people had passionate responses. You made a comment with the specific intention to draw the ire of people. Your not surprised... you got exactly what you wanted.
And he is fairly young yet.
Fairly young yet? Apparently you don't follow modern golf enough to realize that the prime of golfers is between the age of 30-40.
And he could very well regain his dominant position in the game soon.
The last two years has been one of the most dominant portions of his career. You pick in a small sample of major tournaments, to make erroneous conclusions.
His last two years he has played 24 tournaments.
11 Wins
4 Seconds
That is a higher winning% then the rest of his career. He has just not pulled it off in a few recent majors.
f he does, he will probably surpass Nicklaus in major championships in short order.
He never lost any dominance. Seriously, are you watching what is going on?
His win% the last two years is as high as ever. He made a fairly seamless transition from his latest swing change, which was not the case in the past, when the went into mini slumps while changing his swing.
He is playing as well as ever, with the exception of maybe 2000, when he was a legend. Your making massive and erroneous conclusions from a small sample of events,
But in the here and now, he's only won 2 majors in 3 years. So he has lost steam.
He has been as dominant as ever in tournament overall.
This is a much better indicator of future success, then focusing on a small sample with a few close calls.
I'll admit I was deliberately provocative by saying he won't beat Jack's record.
So you contradict the first thing you said in this post. Not a surprise, It appears you are easily confused and not aware of what is going on around you at the current time.
