It’s a make or break year for Woods
Print Edition
This year’s US Masters could make the difference between Tiger Woods winning several more major titles or perhaps ending his career stuck on his current tally of 14, according to Hall of Fame golfer Johnny Miller.
Woods, comfortably the greatest player of his generation and possibly of all time, is ideally suited to Augusta National where he has piled up four Masters victories on heavily contoured and slick greens that demand a brilliant short game.
“What he does at Augusta is really important,” said two-time major winner Miller, 66, ahead of this week’s Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, the first PGA Tour event of the year.
“If he were to win at Augusta, I’d almost bet you he’d win another major this year. He’d win two majors. But if he doesn’t win at Augusta, I think the odds of him winning another one (this year) are not that great.”
Woods has not clinched a major title since his remarkable playoff victory in the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines, often losing momentum over the weekend after playing his way into contention. His most recent Masters win came in 2005.
“In the majors, he seems to be a little bit prone to getting nervous,” said Miller.
