- Tiger Woods proved many doubters wrong with his triumph at last month’s Masters, where he not only completed a comeback story for the ages but also put Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 major titles back into play.
After Woods secured a one-shot victory to claim his fifth Green Jacket, the former world number one was naturally asked about his pursuit of the all-time major record. The PGA Championship will be held at Bethpage Black, the scene of the 2002 U.S. Open triumph by Woods, while the June 13-16 U.S. Open will be held at Pebble Beach, where in 2000 he won that event by 15 strokes.
During his barren run, Woods had to overcome a highly-public divorce following revelations of his marital infidelities, a DUI arrest he blamed on an “unexpected reaction” to prescription medicine and multiple career-threatening surgeries.Through it all, Woods plummeted to 1,199th in the world rankings, given his long spells on the sidelines, while many onlookers never gave him a chance of winning another major.
“I felt for a long time he was going to win again,” Nicklaus told Golf Channel the night Woods won the Masters. “And, you know, the next two majors are at Bethpage, where he’s won, and at Pebble Beach, where he’s won.History is not on Woods’ side since only two golfers have won multiple majors after turning 43 and none have done it since 1968 when 48-year-old American Julius Boros won the PGA Championship five years after picking up a U.S. Open title.
