Many people say to me they wish Tiger had a consistent "challenger" to his domination as Jack had Arnie and Gary. I usually would reply yes that would make it more interesting and certainly provide drama, like the kind we witnessed this past weekend at Augusta. Having thought about it for a bit though, i began to wonder with the number of Major wins and years played together in the peaks of each of their careers, did Jack really have a consistent contender in Jack and Arnie or do we just see it that way now as they have gone down as three of the greatest to ever play the game.

Not that there are any guarantees in sports and that could be no truer of major championship golf, where dominance is arguably the first or second toughest feat in all of modern sport. All that said, this years US Open at Torrey Pines might be the biggest home field advantage if one ever existed. Woods has competed in the Buick Invitational at Torrey since 1998 and in that span has five wins and five top 10's (four top 5's) and in nine days is looking for three peat at the Buick coming off his win a few weeks backat the Target World Championship
