    Yes, so I can tell my grandchildrens that I was there when TW broke the record.

    By the point Nicklaus used to be at Tiger's stage in his career he had shrink taking part in- he was once into golf direction design at an awfully younger age- Murifield in Ohio was being constructed at this factor in Nicklaus's lifestyles that Tiger is at. Tiger will get to about 20 or 21 majors- he best desires about one a yr except he turns forty and he will get some favorable courses to win majors on- he can win at Augusta any year, the 2008 US is at Torrey Pines where he's won 5 Buick Invitationals, the 2009 US is at Bethpage in new york the place he dominated the 2002 Open. The 2010, and typically 2015, British will be at St. Andrews and he owns St. Andrews.

    Yes. I think Tiger's peak was arguably the greatest peak in sports history alongside Michael Jordan. There was a time when the record was no doubt going to be broken. Now, more people are betting against him breaking the record. And understandably so. So if he does break the record I will be very happy that he was able to bounce back from all of the adversity. And I really think he deserves the record. I'm not sure if there's a person in professional sports that put as much time and effort and preparation into their sport the way Tiger did with golf. I hope he takes a giant step tomorrow.

    Yes. I've always been a huge TW fan and I think it would be great for golf and for the world of sports if he did do it. He's been the most popular and dominant athlete in the history of the world, and while some people hate him, he has a good side to him that many people do not get to see. I have friends who have met him and he really can be the opposite of a nasty jerk that the media portrays him as.

    After Saturday's round with TW, Thorbjorn Oleson said, "We were talking a little bit about the coast and where we were staying, when he got here, and a few other things. He’s a really nice guy, and I really look up to him. It was nice to have a chat with him."

    I hope he does get to 19 and I think he will.

    I'd rather that Nicklaus keep the record. He was a class act throughout his ENTIRE career and was never involved in any scandals. He also LOST with class and dignity.

    4 years ago I thought Woods was a slam dunk to break Nicklaus' record of 18 majors. I no longer think he will. Woods is now battling his age, physical ailments (knee surgeries), and younger competition that is not in awe of him.

    I think that Woods MIGHT win 1 or 2 more Majors, but it's no longer a sure bet. It wouldn't surprise me if he never wins another one.

    If Woods does somehow manage to get to 19 wins and break Nicklaus' record, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Nicklaus will still be the greatest golfer of all time....not only did he win 18 Majors, but he also finished second in 19 others!
