I know what you're thinking: What the heck does American Pharoah have to do with Tiger Woods?

Woods is a 39-year-old golfer on the PGA tour while American Pharoah is a three-year-old horse ridden by Victor Espinoza. The two are at a crossroads in their careers, and the rest of 2015 could be ground breaking for both of their careers.

For American Pharoah, he's trying to become the first triple crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. There have been 11 triple crown winners, but it's been 37 years. Espinoza won the first leg, the Kentucky Derby, last year riding California Chrome as well as the Preakness Stakes, but lost the Belmont Stakes.

Woods has an advantage over American Pharoah in the fact that he can have a bad day at the office and recover. If Woods shoots over par, he can still recuperate on the weekend and win the British Open, U.S. Open or PGA Championship. For American Pharoah, mistakes can't be made to win the triple crown. Espinoza must win all three legs, no excuses.

Woods may have an advantage on historically difficulty, but Espinoza and American Pharoah are in the prime of their careers. They are already the odds on favorites to win the Preakness Stakes. Horse racing fans are betting on American Pharoah, but it's unlikely golf fans are putting any money on Woods.

So, will we see Woods win a major this year and can American Pharoah break the 37 year curse? Odds are, neither will happen. Woods does have three chances left, but he hasn't been able to capitalize in quite some time. For American Pharoah, the odds are stacked against him in a big way. Then again, both could happen, you just never know.
