As Tiger Woods looks set to play against the hottest new talent in golf, 22 year-old Anthony Kim, there are suggestions already being made that Woods could be getting an early taste of a new rival.
The pair are being lined up to play against each other in the opening round of next weeks WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, if there are no more withdrawals before the Friday deadline.
Mark O'Meara told ESPN.com that he believes Kim has a better technique than what Wood's had at his age.
"Technique wise, I reckon Anthony's swing is better at 22 than what Tiger's was. I think I'm a pretty good judge of what I see in somebody's bag and what they've got in talent and that kid has got it".
"He could win multiple tournaments a year easily and win major championships. That's how talented he is in my opinion".
With Kim being praised so highly from someone regarded as Woods' mentor, could Kim really be 'the new Tiger Woods'? O'Meara seems to think so.
In the same tournament which Woods won, the Buick Invitational, Kim missed the cut following his high finish of 3rd in Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in January. If Kim was to have played Woods in that tournament, we all could have passed judgement on Californian prospect.
Every golfer in the world now has the opportunity to see something which potentially could be the start of a new era for golf.
