Faldo: Tiger's Major Window Has Closed
/Darren Zary reports on Nick Faldo's radio show comments about Tiger Woods.
Faldo believes that Woods will miss out on an opportunity to break Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 major victories in professional golf. That window, the way the CBS golf analyst sees it, has closed.
"I do, personally (believe that)," Faldo said in a telephone interview last week. "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.
"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. Something like that, trying to deal with that, I thought it was going to really affect him. Plus, there's probably a lot going on in his life that we don't know about. It's just having that peace of mind. There's nothing nicer for a golfer to go to the golf course all day long and you do what you want to do, practice-play or play-practice, and then you look at your watch and say, 'I'm going home - it's 6 p.m.'"
