Woods redefines golfing excellence am , "trleg After Tiger Woods' dominance in the 1997 Masters, the world wondered if a star was in the making. Four years later, that question has been answered. The only problem is that the star isn't just "in the making" anymore. With the "Tiger Slam" completed this past weekend, it's apparent that a star has already been made, and another sports legend is emerging. You would have to go back to 1984 to find some sort of parallel in which to compare Tiger Woods. The immediate impact that Woods is having on golf is almost a perfect reflection of Michael Jordan's impact on basketball when he emerged in the mid 80's. But to just say that Tiger is the greatest competitor to come along in the past 16 years is deceiving. Especially when you look at the greater scheme of things. If Tiger is to continue dominating golf, you could begin to give him a different title besides "the greatest competitor since Jordan." You could consider adding him to a distinguished list with the names of Jordan, Babe Ruth and Muhammed Ali.
