Tiger Woods completed his remarkable comeback to the top of professional golf in 2018, winning the PGA Tour Championship, and followed up his success with another major win the following spring. Woods’ career-long pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ major record is back on track, and after an early-season win in Japan, Woods will once again be considered a favorite in every event he participates in. Just how close is Woods to the major record? Let’s take a look back at all of his major championship wins.
Tiger Woods has won a total of 15 major championships in his career, and is three majors away from tying the all-time record held by Jack Nicklaus.
Woods broke an 11-year major winless-streak in 2019, winning the Masters for the fifth time in his career.
