I think next year is the defining year for Tiger Woods and his future on the tour. I'm going on the assumption that he'll be healthy by then, or whatever healthy is for Tiger Woods at this point in his career.
Whatever swing changes he's doing should be well behind him by then.
Mentally, he'll be 2+ years removed from the point in which he made his life a dumpster fire.
His life will be back to normal, whatever the new normal is for Tiger Woods.
Assuming all of that, and I think that's a reasonable assumption, if Tiger Woods comes back next year and is still largely a non-factor, I'll be with you in saying, he's finished. Sure he might win a tournament or two over the next few years. He might even win another major, unlikely as that may be.
But if by next year he's not starting to resemble the guy used to be the best in the world, that's a wrap.
I still think it's a tad soon to write him off.
This Stevie move is a weird one but...Tiger looks like a guy that, except for his agent, is totally overhauling his life. New swing coach, caddie, etc.
Will it work? We'll see.

Who is to say that Stevie didnt mention to Tiger that he was leaving. Let the man live. I bet if we look into anyone's background on this internet something will come up. He made a mistake and his family has moved on, so let him be.

Love him or hate him PGA tour and majors are not the same without him. I think it may have more to do with Steve and Tiger's wives.

The offputting thing to me is Stevie's assertion that he stuck with Tiger for the last 18 months, not making very much dough BTW, and tried to help him through his rough patch and then he was dumped. That's Stevie's line, so who knows what really happened. They were literally best friends at a point in their lives not long ago, maybe Tiger feels like he needs to get back to business.

How much dough do they make?

Stevie had a guaranteed salary of around 1 million per plus a cut of winnings. He was doing very well.
