Kelly is shooting his mouth off with no real insights from inside the ropes.

In contrast, last week the NYT did a great article about how Tiger is doing it differently now – he poured himself into the role of assistant captain for the U.S. Ryder Cup team and is credited with helping them turn the tide.  What's more – he's making friends and is opening up with no less love for the game.

Before the Ryder Cup, player Zack Johnson bought T-shirts for the entire team that read "Make Tiger Woods Great Again". It was a joke but also a statement about the respect his fellow players have for him, and perhaps the sign of things to come.

It's far to soon to write him off by any estimation.

As for older players showing up to play and winning/contending in majors... Kelly's knowledge of the game is scant. Hello Vijay Singh and Tom Watson for starters.
