There is a stunning correlation between the careers of the two greats. When Nicklaus was 37, he went into his 63rd major, which was the US PGA, having won 14 majors. Woods is 37 and goes into his 63rd major, which is the US PGA, having won 14 majors. Nicklaus took until his 66th major to notch his 15th, at St Andrews in 1978. This is Woods’s time to steal a historic march. If only it were so simple.
