Jack Nicklaus will celebrates his 70th birthday next January. He is still the king of the hill, with 18 majors under his belt. While he reflect on his life, the man poised to surpass him is embroil in a personal scandal that rocks the sporting world.
I have long predicted (ahem!) that Tiger will never win a major again after his famous battle royal with Rocco Mediate. Mostly due to his knee injury and the ops that followed. I believe the scandal has tarnish Tiger's aura and persona will further dampen his strive for the magic 18 major. The very thing that he pride is now seen as a facade. Don't get me wrong, one weakness or make it 9 weaknesses (as of today's count) doesn't make him a monster but it does make him a man, like the rest of us.
My prediction, golf wise: Tiger will never beat Jack's major record. Yes, he'll win a few more but it's down hill from here on.
