Feherty on Tiger Woods: How far back does he have to be to be back?

The PGA Championship starts today. “Glory’s Last Shot” gives Tiger Woods one last chance in 2013 to not have to answer “the-when-are-you-going-to-win-another-major?” question leading up to the 2014 Masters.

During a conference call, I asked the CBS crew if it is possible for Woods to win five tournaments in a year (and counting) and have it be considered an unsuccessful year if one of those victories doesn’t occur in a major? Five wins would be a career for most players. Then again, Woods isn’t most players.

Leave it to David Feherty to put it in perspective:

“Is it possible to have that kind of year and have it be disappointing? Only for one player.

“People ask me all the time: Is Tiger Woods going to make it back? Well, he’s won five times and has been No. 1 most of the year. How far back to do you have to be to be back?

“There are two separate ways of viewing golf. There’s Tiger Woods and there’s everyone else.”

So will his drought end this week? Don’t think Oak Hill suits his game. My prediction: Despite all those non-major victories, it’ll be another “disappointing” year for Woods.
