Tiger Woods will NEVER win another major

Irregardless of the record, tiger is the greatest golfer of all time

More like the greatest disappointment in golf of all time.

A lot of players have won major championships in their 40s:

Nicklaus (of course)

O'Meara

Stewart

Singh

Crenshaw

Trevino

Irwin

Besides Nicklaus, Tiger has more talent than any of them. There certainly is a fair possibility he puts it all back together and wins another major and even a remote possibility he can tie/break the record. I'm also not a Tiger fan, but when he plays well it's good for golf.

Look, kids--he just used a non-word.

Nicklaus holds the record for most runner-up finishes in majors with 19. plus 18 wins....37 time in the top of a Major! Amazing!...No one will come close to that STAT!

How long until Jordan Spieth passes Woods for majors won?

There might be a small chance that Tiger can get a fluke major win still, but no way does he go on to beat Jack's record. Seriously, 14 majors at regular intervals up to age 33 or so, then nothing for 7-8 years and you think he's just going to turn it on again and pick up another 5 major wins after turning 40?

Not even Tiger's PEDs can turn back this clock.

Considering he's the GOAT golfer I find this hard to believe

Don't count Tiger out yet. Off tht etop of my head, Mickelson, Nicklaus and Vijay Singh all won majors 40+. Heck, Watson almost won the British Open at 59. Nicklaus could have won more I believe if he would have stayed in the same shape that many golfers do today. I'm not staking my emotions on Tiger making a complete comeback, but I thinks it's still more probable than not they'll he'll win at least one more major. Tie Jack? We'll that won't happen until he gets number 15 first. I'm rooting for him.

0 for 17 since I originally started this thread when he was still ranked #1 in the world. I'm going to call it over. Anyone who wants to hang onto some imaginary hope, have at it. But really it is over.

- Signing off -

It was a good prediction. It's too bad you couldn't have gotten someone to put up a bet against it, you would have made some money. I don't think that anyone (even Tiger's fans who say a comeback is just around the corner) would lay money on it now.

I think we can safely write him off as a potential champ at the PGA Championship...he'll tee it up at Augusta as a 40 year old man that hasn't won a major in nearly 8 years...Jack's record is safe from Tiger.

With the body of a 75 year old male. PEDs work great... for a little while.

He might get one more win somewhere, but, it would be luck, not his decomposing body.

Ever wonder why someone who knows nothing about golf would post on a golf thread?

And now yet another back surgery for him.

His body is breaking down, the competition is deeper and younger than ever and he still can't get his game together for 4 rounds on a consistent basis.

No chance of ever winning a major again.

It's about as official as it is going to get (short of Tiger's death - which is too long to wait).

Not to pile on, but...

The first time Jack Nicklaus missed the cut in three consecutive Majors was in 1993, 7 years after his last Major championship.

The first time Tiger Wood missed the cut in three consecutive Majors was in 2015, 7 years after his last Major Championship.

+1 for stat of the day. Take a bow.

As runners we see golf as kind of a joke on the physical level. But man he has had a lot of injuries. Yet he was one of the most fit-looking guys out there.

I almost wonder if in golf having a minimal musculature and kind of a doughy body might actually protect against certain imbalances. I know the times I played (I am very muscular in upper body) I felt like my shoulders might explode, while my for old sedentary dad it was no big deal. Kind of like those obese people who look quite comfortable at a desk job all day while I go batshiite crazy if I'm stuck an hour in a chair, gotta get up and stretch, walk around.

Anybody still betting on him to catch Nicklaus?

How about winning 1 more major?

How about being a relevant professional golfer ever again?

OP could've made some nice coin had he actually made the bet mentioned in the thread title at the time this thread started.
