Tiger vs. Jack

There's a poll on the About Golf forums right now posing the question, will Tiger Woods break Jack Nicklaus' record for most major championships? My vote is yes.

In my lifetime, I have never seen anyone as tough as Tiger on the golf course. When Tiger has a lead, you might as well wrap it up, because if there's one thing Tiger Woods knows how to do, it's play within himself. He just doesn't make mistakes. He knows everyone else has to come and get him, and as long as he does what he knows he can do, he's going to be tough to catch. There aren't many tour pros out there who have the same kind of discipline. Those who do have probably learned it from a sports psycologist. For Tiger, it comes naturally.

Tiger also has one more advantage over Jack. He has a goal to shoot for. If Jack had had someone to chase who had 25 major wins, he might have gotten 26.
