CROMWELL, Conn. -- Here's what happens when you win majors at the age of 21 and become No. 1 in the world at the age of 22: Anything short of sheer dominance in the following years is viewed with a collective shrug from the masses.
Tiger Woods learned that the hard way. Revisionist history tries to tell us that he won the 1997 Masters and immediately started winning everything, everywhere, all the time. The truth is that Woods won just twice more that year, once the next year and didn't claim his second major title until the following year's PGA Championship, ending a 10-tournament winless drought at the big ones.
