Not likely. I like TW, but can’t compare him to Mr. Hogan.
For one, TW is too comfortable in his financial situation. Less hungry to get back, and less motivated. There is a difference, and often not noticed by the ones in the situation.
One is an unfortunate accident caused by someone else, one is a total self inflicted “accident”. Obviously, no one consulted him on handling success, and what comes with it. All the demand and expectations; can be overwhelming.
I certainly don’t hope TW’s glory days are behind him, but , the last major at the Masters in 2019 could be it.
Sliding down the field of Tour with players who are more hungry and with less hang up without injury or personal issue. TW will face an astronomically climb back to the top. Could be much harder than Mr. Hogan had faced during his return in 1953. Mr. Hogan had the fans behind him.
I’ll be expecting a miracle to see T.W. complete his comeback and the fans wish of climbing back to the top. Miracles did happen and could happen, again.
we can not compare the two totally different cases.
