Why Tiger Woods Will Win More Than 20 Majors

At the conclusion of the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in 2008, when Tiger Woods won his 14th major, few doubted he would sooner or later break Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories. 

Oh, what a different world we live in today. 

Tiger has played so poorly (by his standards) for the last two years that only a few seemingly foolish souls still dare to predict he will win even one more major championship.  In fact, two titans of the golf world, Nick Faldo and Greg Norman, have stated for public record that Tiger will never win another major.

No doubt some pro-Tiger voices will come out of the woodwork after his victory at the Chevron, but I don’t understand why.  After all, his win came in an exhibition tournament on his “home court” against a tiny field of 17 rusty players on vacation.  He still has much to prove after two years of hitting the ball all over the yard and missing clutch putts.

I’ve long predicted that Tiger will win over 20 majors and I’ve never wavered from that opinion during the last three years.  It hasn’t been easy to stay the course in the face of scandal, divorce, layoffs and several injuries, including a frightening reconstructive anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery on his left knee in 2008.    

But Tiger’s knee has now had more than three years to recover, and it seems he's put his personal problems in the rear view mirror.  The knee looks solid and he seems healthy enough to play a full practice and tournament schedule for the first time since Torrey Pines. Furthermore, he’s initiated swing changes designed to protect his knee for many years to come.

Assuming he remains physically able to play full time, I continue to forecast a career major win total of more than 20 majors for Tiger.  And I’m not basing it at all on his performance at the Chevron.
