Key to winning on PGA: play in non-Tiger events

Adam Scott has found a key to winning: "Tiger's phenomenal. He's dominating the game, six PGA Tour events in a row. I've got to start playing in the events he doesn't play in, that's for sure."

People don’t want to compete if they are most likely going to be beaten. I’m sure Adam Scott was being cute or funny. Laugh, now get serious. Yes, Tiger is currently the best golfer in the world but that is only until someone proves he can beat him. The contender spot is open. Somebody with guts can take it. Unfortunately, that person is not Adam Scott.

What you say might have some merit if the rest of the field had better golf swings than Tiger, or were better putters than Tiger or got up and down better than Tiger. Then you could say, "Oh, he's getting by on guts. The other players are technically better, but he's mentally stronger." No, he's technically better than the field in every facet of the game. Oh yeah, and he has more guts, lots more.

Remember, before the world of Tiger, winning 6 tournaments made it clear that you had a solid professional golfling career! For example, on this years U.S. Ryder Cup team, only Toms (12), Mickelson (29), and Furyk (11) have more than 6 career victories.

As of now, Babe Ruth is the greatest, with maybe Gretzky second. Ruth is at risk of being dethroned by Tiger, but Tiger still has to take down Nicklaus. Sounds like a piece of cake when he is hot like this, but there will be several more slumps and several more streaks before he hangs it up. The possibility of injury is always out there too. There's no guarantee he reaches 19 major victories.

Improvements also continue to be made in the automated processes used to
develop pictures and have lead to the availability of one-hour photo
processing facilities. The real future of photography may lie in the area
of digital imagery, a computer-based technology, which produces images
electronically. In the future it is likely that methods of capturing and
printing digital images may rival the quality of chemical prints
