Nicklaus has always supported him publicly, but says they have never said more than a few words to each other.
I think Woods may seriously consider retirement very soon. He’ll end up being a course designer like Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
After his several back surgeries, that's a big "if". I've never taken up golf. I started to a few times, but never got past hitting balls at the driving range. It seems I would always throw out my back. Golf is really hard on the lower back. I have since had back surgery myself and had two pairs of vertebrae fused. I would not dream of swinging a club now, as I would imagine I could do all sorts of damage to what has been repaired.
I really doubt Tiger will ever be healthy enough to overtake Jack, unless he develops an entirely different, less power-driven way to play.
If he has any sense at all that’s exactly what he should do in my view. With the earlier knee and neck problems and now the back surgeries he better start thinking of staying out of hospitals.
