Tiger Woods on the downside of his career?

Pretty strong words. Although, the article does make some salient points:

Nicklaus won his 18 major championships over a 25-year period. In the first half of his career, he had more great players to beat: Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lee Trevino and Billy Casper. In the second half of his career, the only other truly great player was Tom Watson.
The hunch here is that it will be the opposite for Woods. No one stood up to him early in his career but fearless young players such as Adam Scott, Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia will make it difficult for Woods to win majors in his 30s. And watch out for freshly minted pro Ryan Moore.


I agree, it might be a tougher road to hoe, but to include Sergio Garcia? C'mon people, what has he done?

Woods might someday regret his decision to make radical swing changes a couple of years ago, though his pride would never allow him to admit it publicly. Clearly, he picked the wrong time to mess with near-perfection: in the prime of his career, when he was winning majors in bunches.

Well, it might be too early to write him off, but he did go pretty much from flawless to flawed likethis.
