Tiger Woods Faces a Shift as Rivalry Heats Up
The Mercedes Championship on Maui opens a season that tests Tiger Woods, who did not win a major last year for the first time since 1998 and now faces a tougher field led by a growing group chasing his lead. Davis Love III and others note Woods remains far ahead in majors and tour wins, with rivals hiring new coaches, diet plans, and new gear to close the gap. Some say the so-called Tiger effect is fading, but Woods remains the defining force with eight majors and 39 tour wins, challenging rivals to prove they can topple him.
