There are sports that define an athlete. And then there are athletes that define a sport. Tiger Woods fits the latter category. And like all great athletes, Tiger comes in two versions—winning Tiger and losing Tiger.

As for which version of Tiger will show up in the 2014 season, it’s difficult to speculate. But let’s tee up both possibilities and see where the ball might land.

 

Winning Tiger   

He may not have won a major championship in the last five years, but let’s face it, Tiger Woods knows how to win. And he’s got fourteen major victories in his 18-year career to prove it.

Sure, he’s not the same physical specimen who once served notice that golf is a sport and its players are athletes, but Tiger is still a fierce competitor who, despite his age and injuries, still has remarkable skills and knows how to use them.

Along with a bag full of high performance clubs—his latest addition being the formidable and forgiving Nike Covert 2.0 driver—Tiger brings a wealth of experience and a winning track record to every tournament.

To the naysayers who argue that Tiger’s five-year drought has derailed his dream of breaking Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories, statisticians point out that, in winning 14 majors out of 64 played by age 38, Tiger is neck-and-neck with Nicklaus at that age.

And while acknowledging that he is not the golfer he was in his twenties, Woods reminds us that other notable players have won more than one major title in their forties. This includes Nicklaus, who won his 15th major five months before turning 39 and went on to win three more by the time he turned 46.        

At a press conference before the 2014 Farmer’s Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, Tiger said it best in terms of his chances of having a winning season:
