The world of professional golf is fine-tuning its sights toward Augusta, Ga., for the annual rite of spring, the Masters.

That little get-together has always been thought of as the quarter pole in the PGA Tour season, the first of the four majors, and a time when players take stock of how the early part of the season has gone.

It also gives us a chance to think about what golf his given us thus far and what lessons we've learned from what we've seen.

Like:

 

There is golf without Tiger Woods.



Even at age 38, there is this feeling the game cannot and will not be able to survive without Woods. It's true that Woods is still the straw that stirs the PGA Tour's drink, but things are not what they used to be.

The tour is not going to shrivel up and die when Woods gets off to the worst start of his 18-year career like he has this year. And it's a pretty sure bet, even with Woods hobbled with significant back issues, the rest of the season will go on. Major champions will be crowned, money titles will be won, new stars will emerge and fans will continue to watch.

 

These guys are good.

Remember that marketing slogan the PGA Tour used a few years ago? It was intended to showcase the upper echelon players, and that was accomplished. But what we've learned this year so far is that there are really good players deep into the field of every PGA Tour event.

How about the winners on the Florida swing? Russell Henley (Honda Classic), Patrick Reed (World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship), John Senden (Valspar Championship), Matt Every (Arnold Palmer Invitational).

Not a lot of household names there, are there?

But it shows just how deep the PGA Tour is now. And that's one reason why it's going to be so difficult for someone to dominate like Woods did for so many years.
