Tiger���s chase of Jack���s records is more anticipated by fans and media across the globe. Obviously this is not something Jack thinks too much about. I am happy to just sit back ��� watch him chase the record and enjoy it���. ��� I was lucky with my health ��� had very few injuries in my career.��� ��� Tiger certainly seems to have his sights set on my records just like I had my sights set on Bobby Jones record of 12. He just had a 2nd surgery on the same knee. He might do it soon if he wins 2-3 of them in one year and it might never get done ��� who knows ? But I think it will take him 5-6 years to get the next 6 to get to 19 and go past my record of 18 majors. His answer: ���I think Tiger probably will break my record although it is not a given. Well Jack was in Bangalore just recently to examine a potential golf course design project and I was fortunate enough to be able to ask him this question in person.
The question on every golf fan���s mind right now ��� is Tiger going to beat Jack���s major titles record and if so then when will that milestone be reached ? Imagine getting the opportunity to ask Jack Nicklaus himself this question.
Jack is a living legend and still leads in major titles ��� 18 in fact. The only other player who dominated the sport like Tiger is doing now is American Jack Nicklaus who was the supreme player in world golf during the 60���s and 70���s. 13 ���major��� or ���grand slam��� championship titles and 66 US PGA Tour victories. During this period he has been the dominant player in world golf and has made he No 1 spot in the world rankings his own property for nearly ten straight years. Tiger Woods has been everyone���s hero for the past ten years.
