Press pack lose faith in Woods

Nearly two-thirds of writers polled by the Augusta Chronicle newspaper at The Masters this week do not think Tiger Woods will break Jack Nicklaus's record 18 Majors.

Nearly two-thirds of writers polled by the Augusta Chronicle newspaper at The Masters this week do not think Tiger Woods will break Jack Nicklaus's record 18 Majors.

A total of 66 journalists were asked their opinion and the split was 43-23 in favour of Woods failing to set a new mark.

The former world number one is currently on 14, but has been at that mark since the 2008 US Open.

Woods was not the most popular pick to win on Sunday either.

Rory McIlroy came out top with 15 votes, followed by Woods and Phil Mickelson on 10 each and current world number one Luke Donald on seven.
