Tiger Woods가 금년 PGA 올해의 선수상에 선정되었다. 2009년 이후 4년만의
경사이며 그의 11번째 선정이다.

전성시대의 Tiger는 아니지만 스캔달이후 이제 제자리에 돌아온듯하다. PGA에서
한번의 우승도 어려운데 비록 Major우승은 못했어도 5th major로 여겨지는
Players Championship을 비롯 5승에다 lowest adjusted score
average인 Vardon trophy우승,상금왕등 올해의 선수상을 받기에 족하다.

PGA 선수들이 선정하는 '올해의 선수상'에 비해 통계로 결정되는 이번상이 더 정확
하다고 생각된다.

Tiger fan의 한사람으로 15th major도 그렇게 멀지 않다고 생각되며 앞으로의
행운을 빈다. Tiger의 선전이 PGA 성공에 직결되는 현실을 생각해서라도----.규정

 

With Tiger not winning the majors, he has disappointed many of his fans, I believe.
There are too many good players out there, and it is going to be an up hill battle for him.
Tiger is getting old as he was saying he was tired the other day.
Personally watching golf tournaments is boring for me.
I would rather watch other sports except when Tiger Wood is contending in the golf tournament.
In other words, many of us were used to seeing him pulling off miracle shots and creeping up in the Sunday leader boards
too many times when he was very young,
and now it's not happening very often.
As a result, watching the regular PGA tournament is boring. We've seen the bests of Tiger's and
realize it is very unlikely to see another Tiger Wood in the conceivable future.
As a matter of fact, LPGA is more exciting to watch, which I often do.

Thanks for your comment!

You are right. We all have been spoiled by Tiger for all these years.
Many fans disappointed even the year,Tiger being player of the year.

After all Tiger is human being and he is getting older considering many
young new comer like 20 years old, Jordan Spieth,etc.

Whether Tiger wins another major or not, we have witnessed one
of greatest golfers in our life time,which is blessing to all of us,I think. KJ
