when your name is Tiger Woods yes you do have to be the best in the world. he was a once in several generations athlete like Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky. Destined to be the greatest golfer in the history of golf. Not fulfilling that destiny is something very few ever doubted - he was that amazing that young.
I do remember Jack Nicklaus years ago warning people that it gets harder to be that good and win majors as you get older because there are more things in your life like managing your businesses, marriage, children, parents aging/dying that distract you from the single mindedness to become the greatest ever - some people thought it was just Jack being a bit small and bitter as everybody was handing his crown to Tiger. Jack was right.
