Another golf major in 2010 without a healthy Tiger Woods hoisting the trophy.

In one sense, it's far too early to say the post-crash Tiger Woods is finished, but it's clear he's not his old self.

The "slump" of 2003-2004 always seemed to have some kind of "hard" factor you could put your finger on, be it his swing changes to accommodate his knee, a bad day on the putting greens, etc.
