Tiger Woods Still Eyeing Nicklaus Record

Tiger Woods believes that he can still surpass Jack Nicklaus' record of eighteen major titles.

Woods has been sidelined for over a month with a knee injury - which saw him miss out on the chance to play at the U.S. Open.

And while Woods' form over the last year has been far from his best he believes that he can get back to winning ways and there's not reason why he should give up on chasing the record.

Speaking to Sky Sports he said: Absolutely not. He won when he was 46, right?

"I've still got some time and on top of that we're about the same pace I believe in years on Tour and majors won.

"I feel pretty confident of what my future holds and very excited about it. I'm 35, I'm not 65 - I've still got some years ahead of me.

"Golf is unlike any other sport. I mean, (Tom) Watson was 59 when he almost won (the 2009 Open)?

"We can play for a very long time. What I would like to do is play this game for as long as I want to and I feel like my best years are still ahead of me.

"I just need to get out there and practice and then implement it and put it all together."

It's not yet known whether Woods will participate at the Open next month at the Royal St George.
