Let's see, Tiger is 40 and according to you, see quote from you above; Jack was 46 in '86. Using YOUR logic, what chance do you think Norman, Price and Seve thought Nicklaus' chances were in '86? It had been 6 years since he had won a major. Either way, those "top" players in '86 knew he was the fucking Golden Bear and only 4 back going into the final round of the '86 Masters. You know, a guy with his own trade mark. Hmmmm, TW has one of those too and I dare to guess the "top" players know who he is and not: "just another journeyman player," when they tee off against him. If not, when he is contending they will figure it out when they hear the roars of the gallery following him and not them.
Who knows what Tiger will do, but for you to say the top players think he is just any other player is ridiculous.
BTW, I didn't need a crystal ball or turban, just common sense.
