What's this?

I would argue the done-zo crowd hardly looks silly

They were wrong. But big difference between being wrong and looking silly while doing it.

There was zero credible information available in 2016-17 that should have led anyone to conclude Tiger would win another major. The only reason to think that might happen was wishful reminiscing about how dominant he used to be.

His life and his health were in shambles. Neither of those are easy to put back together, and the latter only gets more and more difficult the older you get.

Logical analysis of a situation does sometimes get you to the wrong conclusion. But being wrong doesn't mean following the process you used to draw that conclusion makes you a fool.

Concluding Tiger was done was a very high percentage shot that just didn't go in.
