Tiger Wood's knee surgery is the talk of the golfing community primarily because he will be out of the circuit for the remainder of the 2008 season recuperating from the surgery. His absence is spoken of by nearly all enthusiasts in the world of golf. People and sports analysts are trying to figure out what will happen with golf while he is out recuperating. Will the precision of his game and his competitive skills be missed or will there be a fill-in that will make the world forget Woods for the six or more months? Eyes are looking at and people are talking about Phil Mickelson. He is the number two man in the world of golfing.
San Diego's Phil Mickelson is considered a good replacement but follows a distance behind Woods in his achievements. Where Woods has won nine out of eleven championships, Mickelson has to win two more to catch up with Woods. Of those championships one would have to be the British Open or the PGA championship to match Tiger Woods.
Phil Mickelson's trademark is his high-baller which does not normally work in his favor especially in windy weather. That would be a serious handicap for him at the British Open which is normally windy. Sports analysts agree he is the world's number two man in golf but his performance is unpredictable.
Phil Mickelson's name is quickly becoming a synonym for Tiger Woods' absence. The sporting world is indicating Woods' absence is an opportunity for others to shine but they all seem to focus on Phil Mickelson before ending their articles. Maybe he will shine.
