Jack Nicklaus Predicts Tiger Woods Will Eventually Play and 'Dominate' PGA Senior Tour

Tiger Woods' time dominating the PGA Tour is probably over, given the rash of injuries he's suffered as he continues to age, but that doesn't mean his impact on the course will completely diminish.

"I think Tiger will get well and Tiger will be back and playing," Jack Nicklaus told reporters on Thursday. "Tiger will be 50 next year. I believe he'll probably play the senior tour and he'll probably dominate the senior tour. Tiger's too much of a competitor not to play. ... I don't think Tiger will play for money. He doesn't need money."

Woods is currently out indefinitely as he recovers from a torn Achilles, keeping him out of his signature event this weekend, The Masters. It's been six years since Woods last won a major championship, the 2019 Masters. His years of dominating at the top level are over.

It wouldn't be a surprise if he eventually became a fixture on the senior tour, however, as Nicklaus believes. It's hard to imagine Woods not remaining a major part of the sport in some capacity.
