Tiger Woods would have smashed Jack Nicklaus’ major record if he hadn’t been obsessed with transforming his physique, Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee said Thursday on “The Dan Patrick Show.”
Woods has 14 major championship victories compared to Nicklaus’ 18. Woods was considered by many a lock to capture the crown jewel of golf records, but hasn’t won a major championship since 2008, thanks, in part, to a combination of physical injuries and personal issues.
During the interview, Patrick said to Chamblee: “Finish this though, Brandel. ‘If Tiger doesn’t lift weights…'" And Chamblee responded:
"He would have won 20-plus major championships and 100-plus events.
