Tiger Woods in his prime wasn’t close to being invincible. He was invincible.
From the time Tiger Woods burst onto the golf scene by dominating the 1997 Masters until he won the 2008 U.S. Open on a broken leg, he played golf at a level that we may never see from anyone again.
I had a front-row seat to that 2008 U.S. Open victory.
I was underneath the grandstand, peering through legs trying to get a look at Tiger on Sunday as he nailed yet another epic clutch putt to force a playoff that he would ultimately win.
The crowd reaction was so loud I thought that the grandstand was coming down on top of me.
If you had told me on that Sunday that the 2008 U.S. Open would be the last major Tiger would win, I would have laughed at you.
Now, with his game in complete disarray and a body that is constantly broken, I think that it probably was his last hurrah.
Tiger Woods in 2008 reminds me of the U.S. dollar today…
