Based on what the technology was then and what it is now, what Jack did will never be replicated. Although this was way before my time, we must understand that without the Jack's of history, the Tiger's of today would not exist. Tiger could not pure a 1 iron, no one could, but Jack hit the pin in '72,my hands are throbbing with the sheer thought of pulling a 1 iron out of my bag.
I think Tiger is an incredible athlete, however, he is not the quintessential player, when he misses, he is gone both his ball and in the field. Be this as it may, I will pull for Furyk, Phil, Sergio, my Cdn boy Weir (if he gets it together) and many others before Tiger. I love to see someone take him down each and every time, and the less of a name they are the better. This is part of what makes watching the tournaments worth every minute (i.e. last weekends playoff, 2nd win for Howell tough lesson for Phil [again]).
My girlfriend (whom has golfed only once... with me) was getting into it last weekend. It is these David-and-Goliathlike struggles that the PGA is so desperately seeking and the FedEx cup is an example of an attempt to initiate further battles. I think the PGA is looking at other sports to lead them and some ideas are interesting, we are about to witness some major changes, and I for one am very excited.
