I agree, I'm a big fan of when sports are dominated by one person way, way ahead of everybody else (apart from Schumacher winning every race in F1, that was just boring), but I'm just glad to have been around to see the US Open win by 15 shots and the Masters win by 12 shots etc, because the competition in almost every sport now is just too professional, too finely tuned and comes from a much wider pool of talent than before.
Because I've never been a Tiger Woods fan, the probability that Woods will never dominate again is fine by me. Also, it seems like golf has had an explosion of young talent over the last 2-3 years and I'm interested to see all these good, young guys battle for majors the guys who were the top players in the 1980s and 1990s did.
Golf, along with tennis, I actually like having a dominate guy or two on top. There is something about sustained excellence by an individual- in an individuals sport- that is captivating to watch. I for one hope Tiger can return to the top of the sport....But I wouldn't bet on it happen.
I say within five years he will past Nicklaus for the most majors. No doubt. As far as impact, he is the greatest already. Kids from all backgrounds are playing golf nowdays since Tiger turned pro.
Tiger knows Augusta National better than anyone in the field and that gave him a advantage over the field. I still think the jury is out on whether he'll win another major.

When Tiger arrived on the PGA Tour he was far in away the best athlete on the tour. That no longer may be the case and the crop of younger players has definetly closed the gap in terms of athletic ability.
I agree the current crop of younger players guys like Martin Kaymer, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Jhonathan Vegas, Anthony Kim, Camillo Villegas, Hunter Mahan, Rickie Fowler etc. are a lot of fun to watch these days.
