There is virtually no doubt that Tiger Woods was the best golfer seen in the last twenty years. He has helped to elevate professional golf to new heights. The large increase in tournament prize money has largely been a result of the rise in the popularity of the sport that resulted from his presence.
His recent injuries have unfortunately brought him down. Will he be back? I cannot say for sure.
Like him or hate him, I think the golf world needs a big star like he was at his prime to take the game to the next level. At the present, there are many good players like McIlroy, Spieth and Day but they need to be more consistent in winning like Tiger (not just placing in top 10's) for a few years before I can conclude that golf has a new star.
