Woods will go into next year's Masters with a chance to win four majors in a row. It would be a version of the Grand Slam, considering Woods would own all four titles at once. But the true one would be winning all four in one calendar year. I'd like to get another one. I just need to stay focused on what I need to do to get ready for that tournament, and hopefully my game will be ready.
Woods now is at five after a comparable point.
To put five in perspective, Woods now has the same amount of major titles as Byron Nelson and Seve Ballesteros, and is only two behind Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. By being paired with Woods last Thursday and Friday, Nicklaus got firsthand evidence why his record of 18 majors is likely to fall. Like Nicklaus, Woods has geared his game to peak in the majors. I was fortunate enough to have my game at a pretty good level for three of the four majors. If Woods keeps averaging eight victories a year, which seems to be a realistic notion, he could reach Snead by his 33rd birthday.
