Sheeit. 14 Majors, 3 Grand Slams - same as Jack, 79 tour wins needing only 3 more to beat Sam Snead for all time tour victory wins, numerous tournament records, most tour victories coupled with majors. His place in golf history is firm.
This year hasn't been kind. The Memorial was awful. No surprise him missing the cut at Chambers Bay. Might be that way for the balance of the majors this year until he gets his swing figured out. 2 back surgeries and 3 knee surgeries will do that to your game. Butch Harmon says he can fix his swing if Tiger will call him. He was Tiger's swing coach when Tiger was changing the game of golf.
A lot of the tour players were intimidated by Tiger back in the day. Not so much anymore. Some would fold like a cheap suit if Tiger was within a couple shots of the lead on Sunday. Not many friends out there, but they are all grateful to him for vastly increasing the purses.
Jimenez and Montgomery are with a couple shots of the lead on cut day. They're 51. Watson made a run at the British when he was 65. Tiger's 39. Time will tell.
