Nicklaus spoke about Tiger beating his record back in 2015. He said, “So Tiger has got five more to win. That’s more than any other golfer that’s playing together his whole career. When you look at it in that context, now in relation to only what Tigers record is, it’s only five more. But and you know, he still has to do it.”

He added, “I suspect that he probably will pass it. And I suspect that he’ll probably do it in the next two, three years. But you know, if he does, that’s fine. But he still has to do it. You know, it’s not it isn’t a given.”
