If he wins it, he's starting a new one, but it's not a continuation of last year. Even Woods' pal David Duval agreed with The King. But a Grand Slam happens in one year, not in two. If you can put all four trophies on your coffee table, I think you can make a pretty good case. Tiger Woods is seeking his sixth major championship this week at The Masters.
Nobody disputes the magnitude of the accomplishment.
But as Woods well knows, history means everything in golf, and it's irrefutable in this instance. That said, Woods would establish a new precedent. The last player to win three majors in the same season was Ben Hogan in 1953. Hogan won The Masters, U.S. Open and British Open, then skipped the PGA Championship. The big difference is that Hogan had less competition and played with less media scrutiny.
