Tiger Woods Riding a Wave of Momentum

Or perhaps Tiger will keep the momentum rolling from the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, where he won in a major way over a world-class field?

Either way the pressure on Woods is unfathomable at this point. He has not won a major championship since 2008 and the pressure to get No. 15 is reaching a breaking point...
