lets just say for the next 10 years......do you actually think anybody out there or will anybody come along that will actually give him a run for the $$$$$???

or will Tiger win the Money title year after year???

will anybody overtake Tiger for the worlds #1 ranking????

or is he just that good that everybody else qualify for .......rest of the field

or

should we predict if anybody can have a good long run as the worlds #2 player....because honestly, nobody has been able to hang on as number 2 and actually be a true threat to Tiger.....heck the man took a year off and still nobody was able to overtake him ......however during that time.....they were CLAIMING Sergio and a couple others had a mathematical shot of overtaking Tiger in the rankings.....but how'd that work out.....where are they now

Unless he retires early, he'll eventually be on the downside of his career and there will be more challengers. During the rest of his 30's, which should be part of his "prime" years, I doubt we'll see a sustained arch-nemesis. In fairness, I don't expect the same kind of dominance from him either.

since it's already happened (Vijay Singh) it can certainly happen again. It's safe to assume Tiger will always be the premier player of his generation because i think he'll stop playing once he's not (or even before that). But for a few months/ a year maybe, yes i think you'll see another player pass him at some point before he retires

think you'd have to consider Phil Mickelson as the undisputed #2 player of this era. He's finished in the top 5 in world rankings 9 out of the last 10 years. Though not always as #2

he could pass Tiger if Tiger gets cold and Phil wins a couple of majors in a year. Or someone young (ryo ishikawa, Rory Mcilroy etc..) will actually end up being as good as adverstised. It could happen, after all, Tiger was as good as advertised

I have to say I am very eager to see the development of Ishikawa and Mcilroy.

I think it would be good for golf to have someone who can challenge him for a long period of time, but I don't think it will happen. He wants to be the best that ever lived, and I don't think he stop until he has done that.

I would love to see Mcilroy, or Ishikawa make a run. But every year or so there is always the "Next Tiger", or the one who will give him a run, but they always seem to fizz out out after a couple of years.

Just my $.02

both his kids will overtake him, he'll force them to golf, to be better then him, and make everyone else cry

At some point as Tiger ages his game will change. As this happens the young talented players will catch up. There are a lot of really talented players on tour but you just don't get a Tiger that often.

Maybe 10 years is too far to go to expect Tiger to still be totally dominant.......but if he choose to keep going, I personally don't feel that he would be too old at that age to still be dominating....

as far as the young and upcoming talent......I have no question that they have game.....but it is like once they all get a win or so under their belts and start reading the headlines.....they all take a few steps back and never get close to sustaining closing the ground on Tiger....

yep...sure.....VJ once unplanted Tiger as number 1.....but nobody since then has realistically come close....even with Tiger sitting out a year with injury, nobody could do it......

I think the only chance we see anybody getting close to taking the money crown and number 1 ranking from Tiger is once he breaks Jacks Major record.....how long or how many more majors will he want to bank before he fades into the sunset......

which begs another question.....do you think Tiger will play any Senior tour events??? I don't think he will play the first one....

In the next 10 years I think Tiger will win**:

-- the money list every year.
-- the Vardon Trophy every year.
-- player of the year 9 times.

**assumes he he is not injured and plays a full schedule.

So, I guess the answer to your question is, no.

The only thing that's going to beat Tiger is father time and injuries. Take those out of the equation and the likelihood of someone outdoing Tiger is very very very remote. When VJ overtook Tiger that one year, he was rebuilding his swing. That's the only time he's lost #1 status. 1998 and 2004. Duval and VJ are the only ones to knock him off and it was very short lived at that.

To beat Tiger, someone needs to be Tiger. Not enough motivating factors out there. All the new young guns (famed next Tigers) have lots of tallent and are plenty able to give him a run for his money, but what motivates them? They are rich enough, famous enough, and live on easy street. Their work ethic is nowhere near his. They don't want it bad enough to get up at 4am everyday, work out for hours, go to the range for hours, chip and putt for hours, get home sometime darkthirty, eat, sleep, repeat, day in and day out.

Tiger wants to be number one more than anyone else out there.

Therefore he is number one.

Yeah, it seems tiger is at the nexus of talent and desire; there are others out there who hit the ball as well, chip as well, putt as well, manage their game as well, and have as much desire, but no one is hitting on all of those cylinders like tiger. Phil, not enough desire. Same with Ernie. Vij doesnt have the putting. AK cant manage his game on an off day. We've watched Duval and Scott rise and fade. Paddy has talent and desire; whats his missing piece?
Then again, whenever I see that replay of the sidehill 3-iron out of a fairway bunker over trees, i'm reminded that no one else can play that shot; I'm sure that you could find a dozen players that could pull it off in practice, but in a tournement? Thats what tiger does. Thats what he has. Thats why no one will touch him for years to come.
I read an article about how some statisticians were trying to apply sabermetric principles to golf, to see if there was any predictability to be teased out of the shotlink stats. Their conclusion was that it was impossible. They also concluded that there was no such thing as 'heart', or 'clutch' play...but said tiger was their one statistical anomaly on this.

Do U Think Anyone Will/Can give Tiger a Run for the $Money

NO

absolutely not. he will go until he can no longer dominate at the level and then retire

There will probably be a few more people to beat Tiger down the stretch, but I don't think there will be one player that will consistently compete with him at most tournaments, majors, fedex cups etc.

I really do hope there are 2 or 4 guys that can give him a run. Sure would add some serious excitement. Otherwise, the only excitment is watching him chase Jack.

The only player I've seen recently that I think could do it is Rory McIlroy.

However, his putting is poor (comparative to the rest of his game) and although he can work on that of course (and I'm sure he does). I think if you can't putt when you are "young and fearless" you're not going to get significantly better as you get older and more "battle scarred"!

Of course some players will beat Tiger while they are in contention on final rounds......but I haven't seen where anybody other then Tiger is basically the odds on favorite in any event they enter....and surprisingly, Tiger almost always seems to be in contention in most cases.....its like when Tiger is in the field, its Tiger and if you don't pick him, you get the rest of the field....thats unreal.....and whats even more unreal, If I had to take the bet, I'd probably take Tiger most of the time and give you the field!!!!!
