Many people believe Tiger Woods cannot win another major championship as his body starts to fail him in the wake of his injury woes, but his former rival Michael Campbell is not one of them
Tiger Woods looked a shadow of his former self at the majors this year
Tiger Woods’ former rival Michael Campbell admits he “feels sorry” for the 15-time major champion after his steep decline, but the New Zealander believes Woods might have one more great win left in the tank.
Woods, 48, appeared a shadow of his former self at the majors this year, only making the cut at The Masters where he finished in 60th place, 27 shots adrift of winner Scottie Scheffler. Injuries from Woods’ playing career and a high-speed car crash in 2021 have caught up with him, dramatically limiting his playing schedule and his ability on the course has suffered.

Woods has faced calls to retire, most notably from Colin Montgomerie, but the former world No. 1 has shown no willingness to even consider walking away, snapping back at Montgomerie’s comments in his press conference ahead of The Open Championship last month.
Campbell, the 2005 US Open Champion who beat Woods to the title by two shots at Pinehurst No. 2, told Bunkered the American was “almost untouchable” in his heyday and it is sad to see his powers wane. “It’s a real shame. Through my whole career I played a lot with him,” Campbell said. “He was awesome. To see how he’s playing now… I feel sorry for him.”
But Campbell is not writing Woods off when it comes to winning a 16th major. He has urged him to transition onto the Champions Tour when he turns 50 late next year, when he would be permitted to use a golf cart to reduce the strain on his body.

Campbell still believes Woods can win majors
Campbell still believes Woods can win majors. That would enable Woods, who has played in just five events this year and will not return to action until December, to play more competitive golf and ensure he is adequately prepared for the majors. Campbell believes The Open Championship, in particular, is Woods’ best chance of adding another major title to his collection.
