Your thoughts on Tiger Woods as pro golfer

Question
To Whom It May Concern:

I am a current student of University of Canterbury. I am conducting a research assignment on the topic of Tiger Woods. My question is, is Tiger Woods at his peak performance or has he had that peak already or is it yet to come? I am looking for opinionated answers and would appreciate if you could please help with what you think.

Thank you for your time, hope to hear from you.

Dear Mr. Hunter,

I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer your question but since you understand that is just my opinion, I'll contribute.

Most tour players peak during their 30's.  That means Tiger is nearing his peak years but certainly not over the hill.  His recent knee injury and subsequent surgery will be a critical factor going forward.  If he returns to competition healthy and fit, he'll soon be back to domination in the majors and in important other golf competitions.

Many "experts" have wondered if he will maintain his interest level long enough to get to Jack Nicklaus' records.  I don't think Tiger will ever have a problem with interest or enthusiasm.  He's driven to be the best who ever played the game.

So far, Tiger has been underestimated by just about everyone who has tried to classify him.  I do not think he has peaked.  His rate of acceleration may be slowing down a little but that doesn't mean he's not getting better.  

Good luck to you in your project.

Best regards,

Paul Dolman
