One of the most shocking stories of 2010 involved Tiger Woods and his marital problems. It was found that he had separate affairs that ultimately led to his divorce with his former wife Elin Nordegren. This has created some buzz over the years and rightfully so. All of this negative attention has definitely affected his game as he has not been the dominant force he use to be. A lot of people are wondering if he will ever return to his old form, which was complete and utter dominance against his competition. The Tiger Woods of old was considered to be the best golfer on the planet and maybe the best sports player ever. It is in my opinion, that Tiger Woods will never be the dominant force that he once was. His image has obviously taken a hit, which has in turn affected his mental game. He no longer has the edge he once had.

In 2011, Tiger Woods had a very disappointing season on the PGA Tour. His ranking has fell drastically from what it once was. He missed the 2011 Open championships due to injuries and announced that he would no longer have Steve Williams as his caddy. All of these things considered, I do believe Tiger Woods will have a better season in 2012. He will not claim a major title or anything like that, but I do believe his rankings will go up thought the season. He has had the proper time to rest and re-cooperate in order to come back stronger. The negative press is behind him now and he can truly now focus on golf. Something that Tiger was best known for in his early days. He really just needs to get back to the basics. His driving game was always sensational, but lately his putting game has suffered.

I believe Tiger will practice his short game in order to become competitive again. Regardless of how he does, Tiger will always be considered one of the greatest golfers of all time. His sheer dominance over the years have definitely left an impact on golf in general. Just what Michael Jordan did for basketball, Tiger Woods has done for golf. He may never reclaim his dominance, but he still has the abilities to be competitive against the top competition of today.

In summary, Tiger Woods will have a better season in 2012. He may never obtain his old swagger, but he will always be competitive. Love him or hate him, Tiger Woods has left a legacy that many aspire to leave.
