Woods Believes He Can Still Beat Nicklaus’ Record Of 18 Majors; Regrets Not Staying At Stanford For One More Year

Charlie Rose asked if whether or not Tiger Woods believes he could still get 18 majors. Tiger Woods said no to the question. Charlie Rose then followed it up and ask if the golf pro has accepted the fact that he could no longer achieve 18 majors. The 14-time major champion then surprised him by affirming that he has indeed accepted that he is "going to get more."

Tiger Woods was later asked if he meant he would break Jack Nicklaus' record, he replied with one word: "Correct." He won the latest of his 14 majors in the 2008 U.S. Open. Since then he has been sidetracked by a series of injuries and an infamous scandal.

Tiger Woods was originally scheduled to return on last week's Safeway Open, but withdrew three days before the tournament took place.

When Tiger Woods was asked about how being himself is a burden, he expounded on what he refers to as his "only regret in life."

He said it was burden considering the obligations that he has at a tournament, and later mentioned that he regretted not staying in Stanford for another year, Fox Sports reported.

Before leaving to be a professional golfer, Tiger Woods was at Stanford for two years between 1994 and 1996. To many, it was considered a smart decision, given that Tiger Woods was arguably the most dominant amateur golfer of all time, winning an impressive six United States Golf Association championships before turning pro.

Fans are eager to hear about the context of the quote especially with the fact that, had he stayed for one more year in Stanford, he would not have been able to win the 1997 Masters.

Last week, Woods announced the establishment of a new company - TGR. Woods unveiled the company on his website and described it as himself "as a competitor off the course."

TGR will encompass ventures including a couple of official PGA tournaments, Woods' golf course design company, the Tiger Woods Foundation, and his restaurant in Florida.
