Woods won’t break record
“One of golf’s most respected analysts believes that Tiger Woods will not beat Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories.
BBC golf commentator Peter Alliss believes that distractions stand between Woods and his date with golfing immortality, despite the 30-year-old number one player passing the halfway mark with his 10th major winning the British Open last year.
“I still don’t think he will pass Jack Nicklaus’ 18 major wins,” Alliss told BBC Radio Five Live.
“There’s a long way to go before he catches him. He may well do it, but I think there could be some other distractions along the way.
“Considering all the nonsense he has to put up with - long-lense cameras, people prying into your private life and bounties put up to try and get a juicy snippet of naughtiness you might have done when you were 15 - I think he copes with life amazingly well.”
Woods won his first major in 1997 (US Masters) and his British Open triumph made him the second player, along with Nicklaus, to have won each major at least twice.
“Normally your golden years are in your 30s - hopefully that will be the case,” Woods has previously stated.
Nicklaus, now 65 and retired from competitive golf, won 11 of his majors after the age of 30.”
