Tiger is in his prime, as there's no precedent for golfers losing their game in their 30's. There are no real "successors to the throne" so to speak, so I definitely see Tiger dominating for another few years.

Tiger potentially has 20+ more years of high-level competitive golf left in him, while Roger maybe has 2 years left to surpass Sampras.
Not sure Tiger is in his prime with his knee troubles. I do think he will break he record and get around 22 majors.. but it'll take him 10 years to maybe win 8 more....his knee will not hold out.

To suggest he wins all 4 this year is ludicrous (not that you suggested that)
