On this day in 1999, Tiger Woods became the first golfer since Ben Hogan in 1953 to win four straight tournaments.
Although Woods has been on a bit of a decline since his cheating scandal, there is no questioning the Herculean impact he's had on this game. His statistics are self exclamatory, and the game of golf is more relevant when he's at top of the scoreboard. It's that simple.
It's mirthful to think that the current media can impulsively utter at times that any current player on tour has a shot at accomplishing what Woods has.
With 14 professional major golf championships (2nd to Jack Nicklaus--18), accompanied by 74 PGA tour victories (2nd to Sam Snead (82)), there is not a modicum chance that anyone on tour can fill up one-fourth of Wood's footprint to this game.
With that being said, take a look at my favorite Wood's commercial. And sorry it's not the one when he effortlessly juggles the ball for a minute.
