Will Tiger Catch Jack?

By , About.com GuideAugust 17, 2010

Follow me on:

The 2010 major championship season is over, and Tiger Woods has the same number of wins in majors now as he did at the start of the season. Fourteen.

Woods has gone two years without a major, and it's the second time in his career he's been majorless over two seasons.

Given Tiger's struggles in 2010 - a year the major championship venues were supposed to set up perfectly for him - has your opinion changed on whether Woods will break Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors?

Most people prior to this season probably expected it was only a matter of time - and not much time at that - before Woods caught and then passed Nicklaus. Let's find out whether a year of struggles has changed that thinking. Cast your vote in the poll below and leave your comments.

Tiger will have tied Jack Nicklaus when he turns 35 years old this year when both achieved 14 Majors at that age. It took Jack 11 years to win 4 more. Although many question Tiger’s mental state with the game, I am more focused on his physical state over the next 10 years or so after he experienced a spate of physical problems in the last 18 months.I believe it ultimately affected the way he plays today. Jack was relatively healthier than Tiger until he underwent a hip operation after he joined the Senior Tour. By that time, Jack already achieved 18 Majors. I would say, Tiger is still in the race to break Jack’s record if I had to put my money it. My record as a gambler is awful.

Tiger never will be a champion of any kind, as he has no class. Jack is a no.1, standup guy. A true Gentleman in everybodys eyes.
Tiger is a lying, cheating, double crossing pail of snot.
He broke his Mothers heart, destroyed his great Wife and children, and brought shame to the world of golf.
He never was anything jand never will be.

Dont care if Tiger catches Jack. He will never be the man and the model golfer that Jack was. Tiger will have an asterix in my mind just as Ty Cobb did years ago. Jack was the first to lead in major titles. After 13 titles, jack had no one to chase but himself. Im sure if roles were reversed, Jack would would have caught tiger and exceeded his majot titles.

I love Tiger as a golfer and entertainer and believe he will set all major golf records before he is done. I bet Jack would agree that let the first man with no skeletons in his closet cast the first verbal stone. The problem is Tiger had a graveyard and all of them walked out with hands out. I just hope he will be more selective and discreet in the future. He is just as classy as Joe Namath and many others just not as smart.
