that's what I'm talking about
I don't like predictions, and usually don't make them. Once in a while, though, I do ... usually, only when things seem all too obvious to me.
Well, not to toot my own horn, but back on March 7, 2005, here's what I posted after Tiger beat Phil in a showdown at Doral:
"If Tiger's play yesterday is any indication of his play this year, he will win at least 2 majors. Yesterday may be the day that we look back and say: Tiger finally returned, not only to No. 1, but to his 2000 form (revamped by Hank Haney and Tiger). Phil, Ernie, Vijay, and Retief better be hitting the driving range right now."
And a day earlier, I concluded after the Tiger-Phil showdown: "He's back. Tiger Woods had the look of his 2000 year, staging one of the most exciting head-to-head match-ups in golf in years."
OK, so Tiger's got some work left to do if my prediction of at least 2 majors this year is to be validated. But he's 1-1 now, and I wouldn't bet against him.

You're a smug git, aren't you?
Not really. To be honest, I was rooting for DiMarco to get into the playoff. I wanted to see the duel and really would've been very happy for DiMarco had he won. Frankly, he really deserves some better luck, after coming very close in the past 2 majors.
Problem is: if you let Tiger back in the tournament by squandering a 3 or 4 stroke lead, you are playing with fire. That guy just has a knack for the dramatic dating back to junior golf, as evidenced on the 16th.
And thanks Chris for commenting! You should be proud.
Real tough picking Tiger to win.
Real tough picking, Tiger? How about 0-10 in majors over the past 2 years. Only 1 of 5 experts on The Golf Channel picked him. Sure, most of us expected Tiger to come back. But the key question is WHEN.
But it's not over. My prediction is at least 2 majors based on his play at Doral in March.
