I mean he's only 30 and he's just getting better. The course yesterday was 7,561 yards and he shot 4 rounds in the 60's? That's insane !!!

I hope he does but you never know with this game. He could get injuryed or change his swing again.

Tiger will win plenty maybe 24 maybe more but unlikely to win 30.
He's on a pace to win one major a year. He's in his prime (27 to 35). after 35 we can expect a decline. After children we can expect a decline.
Jack Nicklus had 12 at age 34 and only won another 6 after that,
Tiger may have 18 or so by age 35 and could possible be expect to win another 9 for a total of 27.
There are younger stronger and better coached player emerging. Tiger is no longer the longest player on tour. There may never be another Tiger "who knows?" but the competition is getting tougher. Then there's potential injury problems, too much wealth, too many commitments et al! I say Tiger will win 25 baring serious injuries.
I would bet against Tiger winning more than 25 but a wise man might say "never bet against Tiger". At that he would clearly be the best golfer in history.

Barring injury, death, or lillness and if HE decides to play as long as the other "greats," Tiger has a very good shot at winning 30 majors. Keep in mind, you can win majors on the Senior PGA Tour as well.

Probably not. Reason: He will lose incentive after he surpasses Jack's 18. I guess he will stop somewhere between 20-25. Not that he couldn't do more, but he just stops chasing records at some point naturally. It's a psychological thing. Nothing to do with his ability.

I think 25 is the number - if he averages 1 major per year, that should just about get him in that range - who knows? he may go nuts and get to 30 but somewhere close to 25 is the number in my opinion

30 is too high. Remember the record is 18 from Nicklaus, great golfers have been and not got close. 22(one a year for the next ten years) would be achievable if he stays focussed and fit.

Ya he is nuts. I don't know about 30 majors but he will have more career wins than Mark Prior will have baseball wins which is pretty nuts.

It wouldn't surprise me, but I see him winning 24-28 majors.

Forgetting, performances on certain days, one should judge him by overall performance, in all these years. He will definitely beat all existing records, very easily. He is Golfing Icon!
