Unbeatable

Is there anything or anyone out there that can stop Tiger Woods' run of victories? It's scary to look at what he's done the last while. Since getting the newest incarnation of his swing dialed in last summer, he's won 7 out of the last 8 events he's played and finished runner up to Mickelson at the other one. Recently, he's not only been winning, but decimating the field. He's won by 8, 8, 7, and 8 in his last four events and he's already jumped out to a two shot first round lead this week in Dubai. Forget the Super Bowl, right now if Tiger tees it up he's better than a one touchdown favourite! What's really scary is that he still knows he can keep getting better. At his victory press conference after the Buick he addressed the "holes" in his game that he claims are holding him back. His driving could certainly be more consistent and will need to be in the conditions they'll have when the US Open is back at Torrey Pines, but he ranks at the top of just about every other statistical category. With a pretty good rotation of courses for the majors this year, I wouldn't want to place a bet against him winning them all. I mean really, who's going to beat him?
