Be grateful for Tiger

If you have never watched Tiger Woods play golf, then make sure you tune in the next tournament he plays. In fact, make it a priority to watch him play at The Masters this April.
Tiger has had an incredible career, including his magical nine-win 2000 season in which he won three of the four major tournaments and justified all the hype that had surrounded him once he joined the tour in 1997.
He has had some remarkable stretches in his career, but right now he is at the absolute peak of his career. He even mentioned after his Accenture Match Play championship on Sunday that his current five-game tournament winning streak is the best stretch of golf he has ever played.
It is so rare that a player of his caliber comes along in any sport. An athlete of his skill forces even those who don't enjoy the athlete's sport to watch, just for the sake of saying that they beared witness to a transcedent athlete.
Tiger is probably the greatest golfer this world has seen and he is in the prime of his career. It's simply amazing to watch an athlete combine his incredible physical skills with his relentless determination and competitiveness to become sort of an uber athlete. Tiger is the standard by which all future golfers will be measured. By the time he retires, he may be the standard by which all future athletes are measured.
Be sure to watch him while he is at the peak of his performance.
