I'm like everyone else, less than 1%

But I will add that Jack won a major at 46 and Watson should have at 59, so Tiger could conceivably have 68 opportunities to win

One win every 4 years would tie, and watching yesterday, along w his prowess at Augusta and the Old Course, does make me wonder what if

I would maybe go a hair higher to maybe 2% because Tiger will put the work in once he nails down a good swing and hopefully one that keeps his back from acting up. However, as someone already posted, his fear factor being on the leaderboard with other players is over. I know there was some talent back in his prime but it seemed like when Tiger got near the top back in the day, other golfers seemed to fall apart.

I think he will win another Masters for sure and probably another PGA/British but I doubt he ever catches Jack.

Yeah that British Open, it seemed like he had it in the bag.

Oldest British Open champ - 46
Oldest US Open Champ - 45
Oldest Masters Winner - 46
Oldest PGA winner - 48

Tiger realistically has about 4 years to win 5 majors. Phil won 5 his entire career.
