Message: [QUOTE="Cuseregular, post: 2404001, member: 185"] Meaning winning a major at a later age, sorry wasn't clear, also meaning having a meaningful career in his later years. In the old days most of the players rode out and had conservative treatments to fight the back issues, letting the spine naturally remodel and paradoxically ultimately self strengthen after a period of instability and they can still play at a decent level, albeit with less length. So their careers could continue but in a different way. Today those that choose surgery (especially fusion surgery), sometimes unnecessarily, they'll struggle just to play. What were likely gonna see with Woods is a player who will be looking like himself for fits and spurts but probably not enough to sustain success. If he does it will be defying normalcy and be frankly amazing. I don't expect to see it. [/QUOTE]
