Tiger Woods Is Dead Even with Jack Nicklaus Heading into the 2014 Season

About a week-and-a-half ago, during the Golf Channel’s telecast of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Johnny Miller was asked by Rich Lerner whether or not he believed Tiger Woods would break Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major championship titles.

Miller quickly responded to Lerner’s question with a simple “nope” before going on to explain how Woods would need to essentially put together a Hall of Fame career over the next five to eight years in order to catch Nicklaus and how he simply did not think that was possible.

Of course, this is just Miller’s latest on-the-record opinion on this matter. In recent years, Miller, who is never at a loss for words when it comes to dishing out his opinion, has been all over the map on this issue.

During a 2010 ESPN Chicago Radio interview, via Chris Fedor of sportsradiointerviews.com, Miller described Woods’ chances of breaking Nicklaus' record:

I talked about it in my book, I Called The Shots. I wrote that you just never know with family life and desires and injury. Boy, he's at 14 already, and to get to 18, that's a whole career. Look at Phil Mickelson, he's worked his butt off to get to four majors. So, I know it's Tiger Woods, but he's really gonna struggle to just tie Jack's record.

Two years later, in 2012, Miller told Golf Magazine, as reported by Connell Barrett, “I think he’ll win three or four times in 2012 and have a second career that will match Phil's career, which is amazing.”

During that same Golf Magazine interview, Miller went on to say, “There’s a great chance he’ll win four and tie Jack, but I don’t think he’ll get that fifth.”

Fast-forward less than a year, and Miller’s current opinion is that Woods will not catch Nicklaus because he would need to put together a Hall of Fame-type career in order to do so.
