Tiger's chasers

Sergio Garcia's seventh win on the PGA Tour _ and his biggest at that with his victory Sunday in The Players Championship _ continues a trend this year that bodes well for the future of the PGA Tour. Garcia is 28, and he's the ninth player in his 20s to win this year, already surpassing the seven who won in 2007.
Other young potential stars who have won in the past month include Adam Scott and Anthony Kim, a couple players who should win several more titles in the coming years. It's highly unlikely that any one player will challenge the dominance of Tiger Woods in the next decade, assuming Woods remains relatively healthy. But as a group, the young rising stars on the tour can do it collectively. They can attempt to challenge Woods by trading off victories.
The game's established stars have had their shot at Woods, and have generally had the will beaten out of them. These players include Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, Jim Furyk, and the list goes on and on. But some of the young players haven't been beaten enough to cower, yet. As a group they may be able to slow the Tiger Express. At least more than their predecessors have done in the past decade.
