Tiger Woods pursuit

Last week at the PGA Championship, Tiger Woods failed to win a major yet again.  He has won a bunch of smaller tournaments, but quite frankly who cares only a small portion of the golf world cares about (small tournaments) the shell open and the Birion Nelson.  Majors are where its at in golf, people are measured on the amount of majors they have won and Tiger has not won one in four years.  Every time Tiger does not win a major, his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus eighteen majors takes a hit.  I think Tiger can still be the same player but he has more competition that doesn't fear him anymore.  Tiger is not intimidating any more and the other players are coming right at him.  There are a lot of up and coming players on tour and not of them are thinking well there is this intimidating player up there, not to mention Phil Mickelson might be on track to win more majors.  The once dominant Tiger Woods who everyone thought would just smash this record is now tied with Jack, both players have fourteen major wins at age 36.  Tiger only needs one more major run to catch jack but with every passing major tournament that is becoming more difficult.  I believe that when Tiger does win a major, he'll go on a little run, he may get to eighteen but beyond that I don't know.  Mr. Woods has to start with the Masters and/or the U.S Open next year or jacks record may be safe.
