Tiger Woods can never win another Grand Slam,says Faldo

He also says Woods cannot overtake golfing legend Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 Major titles.

British golfer Nick Faldo has said that ‘sensitive guy’ Tiger Woods would never win another Grand Slam and cannot be the same player again due to the ongoing problems in his personal life.

The 35-year-old golf star has not added to his collection of 14 Majors since the 2008 US Open as injury and a messy divorce have cursed his career.

Former Ryder Cup captain also claimed that Woods could not overtake golfing legend Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 Major titles.

“I do,personally,believe that. I was one of the few guys that said it right after this all happened and he was trying to get back to the Masters last year,” Mirror.co.uk quoted Faldo,the winner of six Majors,as saying. 

“It’s now two seasons. It’s not like it’s been two months. Two seasons of golf have gone by. He hasn’t been in a comfortable mode for two years,” Faldo said. 

“Even when he comes back for the President’s Cup (in November),he won’t be comfortable because he’ll be under the questions and spotlight,should he be there or shouldn’t he be there?” he said. 

“Mentally,he’s actually a pretty sensitive guy. He’s very sensitive to any comments or criticisms that we have. It’s just about global communication,” he said.

Faldo,who has divorced three times,also reckoned there exists a connection between Woods’ injury and problems in his married life.  

“The stress injuries to your body are also related to that. When you’re under stress,physically you will break down somewhere,whether it’s a physical thing or emotional thing. All of this is linked,” he said.
