TAFKAS, I think Tiger has come back a few times. He has now won 51 tournaments since he turned pro. I read somewhere that he has only played in like 200 or 201 tournaments, so he wins about every 4th tournament he enters. That is a ridiculas stat! Everyone talks about Phil, and Sergio, and Els and other guys like that, but Tiger wins even when he is not playing well, because he is the most mentally tough as well. He truley dominates his sport. Jack won his 18 major at age 46. If Tiger wins one a year from here on out he will be 38 by the time he wins number 18. He could easily win 2 a year at the rate he is going, just because the Master is at the same venue every year.
