AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods is the biggest story at Augusta National this week because he is Tiger Woods, and because nobody else has even come close to performing a passable imitation of Tiger Woods since he won the Masters 25 years ago.
Woods has opened the door to imitators and successors with injuries and scandals. Many have opened that door. None have walked through.
Woods spawned a generation of young golfers who can drive it farther but can't walk 18 holes in his shoes.
