Golf is in trouble!
My disdain for what Tiger Woods persona became and his treatment of people is well documented.
But talent is talent and he is the special one. Tiger has fallen to number 15 in the world and should be over 20 soon.
71 US wins, 39 European Wins and 14 majors is just incredible.
Mickelson is a talent for the ages and has never reached number 1 in the world.
Hall of Fame be damned, he is pure excitement and a top 20 player of all time.
He is 5th in the world with a career that has 4 majors, 39 US wins and 7 European wins at the age of 40.
Now the point of my post.
Luke Donald is number 1. Seriously?
At the age of 33, Donald has only 3 PGA wins in his career and has spent most of his time on US tour.
3 wins? He does have 5 in Europe so lets give him 8 total with count them NO Majors. He has finished 3rd twice in majors.....
At least No 2. Westwood at age 38 has 21 European wins and 2 in America while he rarely plays over here. Still no major. He has finished 2nd twice in majors.
Number 3 is Kaymer is the only young talent at the top, at age 26 he has a major and 9 European wins.
Number 4, is Steve Stricker, 44 years old with 10 wins after this past weekend win at the Memorial.
It is all just a shame, please, please let one of these young guys on the tour get hot and become a superstar.

That is seriously pathetic. I hope we don't head into another dead era where the top players are just not good enough to dominate (Couples, etc.)
