Its not too difficult to notice that whenever a professional is accused of an indiscretion, then his achievements also become questionable. Tiger Woods is a perfect example of this phenomenon in action. I have stated that the details of his personal life apart, Tiger Woods remains an exceptionally accomplished golfer with a skills set that does not evaporate merely because he has suffered from the difficulties of his personal life. Soon after the events were exposed, this golfer took a long break and upon his return, the uninformed pundits and commercial sponsors assumed that his best days were over and that his professional targets would not be met because he was past his best.
As stated here and here, I have always maintained that this view was completely mistaken and that Tiger Woods still had sufficient time and capability to meet the grand objective of matching the record of 18 majors. Having enjoyed the peace that may come from media focus on his main competitors and the new boys on the block, this athlete has gradually and steadily worked his way back to second in the worldwide rankings. Lorne Rubinstein's piece assesses the steady climb up the ranks and reiterates my belief that Tiger Woods has the goal of 18 majors well within reach.iInterestingly, he adds that it is even possible that Tiger Woods' skill set has improved over time and that he is one tournament away from regaining number 1.
