Will Tiger beat Jack's record?

A few years ago, it looked as if Tiger was a shoe in to break Jack's majors record, now I am not even sure he will win another major! The youngsters coming through seem to have no fear at all? Is that Tiger done or are there more in the locker?
 
If he changes his game to favour accuracy over power he could maybe win a few more PGA tournaments, but doubt he'll bag another major.

With how he's playing at the minute, I doubt very much he'll overhaul Sam Sneads record for most tour wins (82 vs 79)

He has lost his fear factor and his body is/was riddled with injury.

I have no doubt that when his game is on he's certainly capable, but he can't seem to string it together for 4 rounds.

He seems to be stuck between several different swing patterns (Como vs Foley) with disastrous results.

To answer the OP's question. It's a no from me.
 
I think his biggest worry right now is making the Albany team for the Tavistock Cup! :eek:
 
I am a Woods fan but it's not likely he'll win another, really can't see him beating Jack.... but it's so much harder to win than it used to be.... so Tiger is still the best :whistle:

steps back and takes defensive posture......
 
I always believed that when the kerfuffle around his private life died down he'd be back and challenging.

However it was as if all of those woes showed him that he was a mere mortal after all, then suddenly all the putts from 15ft he shelled like peas no longer dropped etc.

I think if he gets his head straighter he might just have a few last hurrahs, but think he hasn't a cat in hell's chance of catching Jack's number.

My advice would be to swallow his pride, bury the hatchet with Butch Harman & Steve Williams (if that's even possible, given what's happened) and get the old team back together again. And then...perhaps, just perhaps he could win a few.

Just watching the US Open coverage of CB and it looks brutal.
Wayward driving will be severely punished and I bet TW is nervous as hell.

I'll agree that he won't win another major. As for the rest, Jack played in an era when the courses were far less manicured, technology was practically non-existent and balls were sometimes round. I've no particular dislike for Tiger, but as far as I'm concerned Jack is head & shoulders above him in terms of record and what he brings to the game of golf.
 
In a word 'no'

I would say that his swing has taken its toll with the injuries he has suffered. Last major win in 2008 was the start of his troubles. He had to deal with divorce, persistent injuries and loss of form and confidence. Great player, but Jack the greater man.

Absolutely no chance! He is finished!
 
I've been a big tw fan over the years and I really believed his last great shot at the majors was in 2013 when he won 5 times on the tour. His swing and body had come together and if it wasn't for hitting the flag and a dodgy drop at 15 at Augusta and mucking about in the bunker in the british open he may well have won.

Too much has gone on now for him to catch Jack his swing is a mess as is his body. He has no mentor figure ever since earl died and his statistics on tour make bad reading such as driving accuracy and 3 putt avoidance.

Really would love to see one last hurrah at one of his favourite venues.
