Odds World Rankings President Cup Stand. Before Tiger Woods is canonized as the greatest player in golf history, a word of caution is in order. And Jack Nicklaus won seven majors by the time he was 27.
Woods obviously is on a hot pace.
He has three majors at age 24, with two yet to play this year. With his Masters victory at age 21, Woods passed Lee Trevino, who was shut out at Augusta. With his PGA victory at age 23, he banked a major Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson never won. And with Sunday's U.S. Open victory, he collared one more than Sam Snead did. Woods certainly cannot yet be placed in the same class as Nicklaus, but hear what Tiger says.
