Why would anyone weep? He's had a great career so far and hopefully he'll continue to entertain us for years to come.

Beyond great. Only Jack's career surpasses it so far.

I think Hagen, Hogan, Snead, Player, and Watson, (among others) may have an argument there. Tiger hasn't "surpassed" them yet but he's well on his way.

Tiger certainly has a great resume and I only read a tenth of that bio. To think, he just turned 29. His swing looked great at the Mercedes so I'm predicting he'll add quite a number of accomplishments to that bio this year. Yes, I know, it's not that bold of a prediction.

Anyone who wants to compare Tiger's career to Jack or other past greats would be a bit premature since Tiger's career is still a work in progress. I believe this is Tiger's 10th year on Tour.

You're correct, victory. He joined the Tour in 1996; thus, this will be his 10th season.

It's hard to believe that it's been that long already!

Anyone trying to match his accomplishments would certainly have reason to despair, which might make them weep in frustration.

That picture must be a bit out of focus, because a picture is usually worth a thousand words!

When that kid smiles that 10,000 watt smile, like he did after chipping to 18 yesterday, every fan lights up inside.
It's great to see him happy again!

Like the others have indicated, he's had a great career so far, but we'll see where he goes from here before placing him anywhere on the list of greats. If he were to retire today, I think he's be top 10 on most people's list of the greatest players, but at 29 and with only 8 full years on tour, I'm sure he'll have plenty more years to build on that if he so chooses.

Wouldn't this be the seventh or eighth year on the tour full time? I thought he completed college before coming on tour. Ten years would make him 19/20, a little too young to be finishing up at Stanford.

I believe he left Stanford after his sophomore year. He won his first U.S. amateur at 16, I think. He won again when he was 17 and 18. And turned pro the August before he turned 19 in December
