Let's not jump on that Tiger Woods bandwagon too fast.

With a win at the 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational, Woods leapfrogged Rory McIlroy to become the No. 1 golfer in the world. It's his third win of 2013. Inevitably, the focus has shifted to Augusta, Georgia, and the Masters, which tees off on April 11.

Granted, he's looking stronger than he did last year, and it was this time last year that people were hyping Woods up for the 2012 Masters.

He blew the competition away at Bay Hill, winning by five strokes. Then he laid an egg in Augusta, finishing in a tie for 40th at five-over. Suffice it to say, the result was a tad disappointing.



People who say that Woods is back or should be a favorite at the Masters are more than likely failing to heed the lessons of last year.

It's clear that Woods will go down as one of the greatest golfers—if not the greatest—of all time; however, his legacy still remains a bit in doubt. He's four major titles behind Jack Nicklaus' elusive 18.

He'll either be remembered as a force of nature for much of his career, until injuries and personal issues derailed his run at history. Or he'll surpass Nic...
