Where does Spieth's season rank?

Sometimes it’s difficult to recognize greatness. Oh, we know when someone has done something extraodinary, but it is difficult at times to fully comprehend when an athlete has accomplished something that borders on the best ever. Case in point, Tiger Woods’ “Tiger Slam” in 2000-2001. Much of the focus was on the fact that Woods did not produce a true Grand Slam – winning all four majors in a calendar year. But his achievement was unprecedented - no one had previously held all four professional major trophies at the same time. My sense is that 50 years from now fans will look back on this achievement in awe.
