Does Tiger Woods’ victory at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational portend another major failure this week at the PGA Championship?

Although Woods put on a clinic this week, he may just as easily fail in his bid to win a single major tournament this season. Reuters mentioned that Tiger “sent out an ominous warning to his rivals” for the upcoming major event, but, as we have seen from Tiger this year, he has not been able to close the deal on one major title this season.

Perhaps Tiger should be content realizing that there are plenty of PGA Tour events left to play this season concentrating his efforts instead on tying, or beating Jack Nicklaus’ record. Knowing that just the sight of Woods creeping up the leaderboard or tied for the lead causes the best golfers in the world to fall by the wayside (most recently, Padraig Harrington’s disastrous flub at the 16th) should be enough glory in itself.

Even if Tiger fails to win a single major tournament this season, fans should consider his five wins in 2009 a sign that Woods is the man to beat on the PGA Tour.

“Just being able to come back and play and be successful again has been a tremendous step in the right direction,” Woods confirmed.

But is this the Tiger Woods that fans want to see: father, husband and humble winner or “Super Tiger” as the Examiner calls him, “the Tiger that the media, sponsors and fans have created…invincible to everything from Kryptonite to Sabbatinium.”

Although fans are a fickle bunch they know to expect a certain degree of fireworks whenever Tiger Woods is in the field. That being said, Harrington and the rest of the defending field better have golf balls filled with Kryptonite to have a chance at defeating Woods this week.

Golf for Beginners offers a Tiger Woods tip on hitting the dreaded mud ball. We also discuss the validity of Dean Knuth’s assumption that golfers can play a round in one hour. The reasons why Team USA is wild about Michelle Wie is also a topic as well as if golf is a good half-time fit at WNBA games.
