After months of waiting, Tiger Woods was back on the golf course. Fans and experts were beyond excited to have the PGA Tour legend playing again – this time with his son. People were, however, more worried about his performance.

Considering his absence for months, Woods’ ability to perform at a higher level has been questioned by a few. John Daly, however, is convinced that Woods is out there to win another major title.

While talking about the same victory, Daly expressed what he felt about Woods and his future wins. “It’s Tiger. You know, it’s like the Ben Hogan accident, I think Ben Hogan came back and won a few majors after that,” Daly said.

He added that he does not feel Woods’ injury is as bad as Hogan’s, the technology better now than it was back then. Woods even looked good to Daly, even though he was a little tired. “He’ll be back, and I could see it in his eyes, he’s probably gonna beat Jack Nicklaus’s records and be the greatest of all time”. 

How many majors has Woods won?

Of course, playing the PNC Championship with his son will not be the same as playing in a major tournament. Irrespective of what he plays, he is one win away from breaking Jack Nicklaus’ record of the highest number of major wins on the PGA Tour. Currently, Woods stands at 15.

Overlooking his age and health issues, Woods might have a reasonable enough shot at winning another title, possibly a major. If he even wins a normal PGA Tour title, he will have overtaken Sam Snead and become the PGA Tour star to have won the most number of titles with 83.
