Tiger Woods has been told taking two lessons after his U.S. Open victory in 2000 'ruined' his career by fellow great and nine-time major champion Gary Player.
According to Player, Woods then went on to have two lessons on the back of victory at Pebble Beach, a decision he believes cost the 48-year-old greatly across the rest of his career. "And then he goes to another guy who couldn’t probably break 85 in the Masters with the pressure, or the British Open or the PGA on the final day. And he’s having lessons from them." As a result, the South African believes that if Woods would not have turned to those two coaches, he would have broken Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major titles, and become the greatest ever athlete of all time.
Woods' first 14 major championship victories came in the space of 11 years between 1997 and 2008. The golfing great was then forced to wait 11 years for win No. 15, which came in dramatic fashion at Augusta National in 2019 where he won a fifth Masters title around the iconic Georgia course.The 48-year-old's career has been a part-time one in recent years, with Woods nurturing a whole host of fitness issues.
