I know many of us here were/are high on Rory. Before he was overtaken, he spent 32 consecutive weeks as the #1-ranked player in the world. But now that Tiger seems to be firing on close to all cylinders, is Rory about to spend an extended period of time at #2 as Phil did in the beginning and end of the last decade? He's only 24, but what are the chances he spends the next 5 or 6 years playing second fiddle, and by the time Tiger starts slowing down for good, some as-yet-unknown youngster passes Rory by?

Tiger is back in a big way, he'll be No. 1 for quite a while in my humble estimation.  I'd predict he'll be No. 1 into his early 40s, barring some other injury.  I'd bet decent money that Tiger is about to really pull away in the rankings.
