major for 3 years.
Woods had won 14 majors at the age of 32 and it seemed all but a formality that he would
overtake Jack Nicklauses 18 wins. Now Woods is 35 (will be 36 in dec) and suddenly it dosent
look atall likely. He has dropped to no 12 in the world rankings, his lowest position in 14 years
he is entering tournaments not finishing them due to injury etc. It seems like his body is starting
to pack up and also mentally he dosent seem in the zone anymore. I think for him the most
ominious thing is that his aura of invincibility has gone and i fear that once u lose that it will
never return. There are a whole new generation of players coming on the scene and it very
much looks like Woods dominance is gone never to return. I think it will be really hard for him to win 5 majors to surpass Nicklaus, in fact i think it much more likely he may not win another
I'm sorry to say he's pretty much finished in the sport, at least at the top level. Not sure if he's even completed a tournament since the Masters and once again he's been plagued by injuries. 3 knee surgeries and all sorts of back trouble throughout his career and at 35, the recovery time takes longer. He possibly has a major or two left in him if he can stay fit for long enough to get some form together but I doubt we'll see him playing into his fourties.
