He is having an incredible run of form right now, no doubt. But the key word is form. How long can he keep his current run going?
We saw similar runs of form from Vijay, Norman, Duval, Faldo etc. (although nothing like as hot) and we all know every run of form finally comes to an end. One could argue that Tiger has not even hit form yet!!!
There are so many contributing factors into him achieving a Grand Slam, including technique, fitness, weather (tee times), courses, emotions (family / personal) and of course did I mention luck? I am not saying that Tiger is lucky, but I think to win all four majors will require some element of luck. The stars have to align for each major. Four majors is a constellation!
I would love to see Tiger do it, so I can tell my grandchildren that I was one of the doubters. I don't think anyone else has ever had as good a shot at it right now. But I just don't see it. I see him winning maybe 2 majors this year, the Masters and one other, perhaps the US Open, but all four? It would be huge!
Oh he will break all the records ever set, including the Nicklaus one, but I think it asking a bit much even of Tiger to win them all in one year.
