Did you hear that?

It was Jack Nicklaus screaming "Motherfucker!"

Easy now, that was no Major.

No but it was #74 which is its own big deal.

 

[Super-Surprise]

A few years back I queried which will reach 100 wins first: Tiger Woods or Michael Schumacher? It now appears likely that neither will reach that total.

Tiger still could if he really is back in form. He has 10 good years in him yet. That's less than 3 wins a year for a guy who used to do that just warming up for the first major.
Not saying he will but the chance is still there.

If he does, I'll stop watching golf!

Oh wait, nevermind, I never watched golf on tv.

Carry on.

Golfers tend to "fall off a cliff" once their time passes. Perhaps Woods will be different, however I doubt it. He is certainly not done yet, but in 2-3 years it will most likely be all over, as seen with many other great golfers.

I think if he does get back to the same level he was before then he's got at least 5 years of truly competitive golf left in him with at least another 5 that might get him a few wins spread out.
He might just be having a good year before falling apart again though. His showing on the last day of the Open was less than impressive.

Yes, like he was human. But he hung together today on a very tough course, so I think his game is continuing to improve.
He has won three times this year, he may win three more.
And two of them might be majors. After all, who is having a better season?

Actually, Woods is credited with over 100 wins already...

...74 on the PGA Tour, 8 Europen tour titles, 2 Japan Tour wins, 1 Asian Tour win, and 16 other professional wins.

And as far as Schumacher goes...

...his driving game was definitely stout, but his putting always sucked.

That happens later today than in decades past. They work far harder on conditioning and the equipment is light years better.

If his knee and brain hold together 100 is a possibility.

I kind of hope not.

Nice work!
