Tiger Woods' mistake stopped him from winning 25 Major championships, says PGA Tour caddie

Tiger Woods is often pointed out as someone who never reached his full potential. Woods is well-known around the world as arguably the greatest golfer of all time. During his monumental career, the golfer has managed to get 82 PGA Tour victories, which ties him for the most in history, as well as 15 major victories, the second highest after Jack Nicklaus (18 wins).

Interestingly, despite these stats, PGA Tour Caddie Kip Henley explained why Tiger Woods should have won at least 25 golf majors during his career. All of this started with an X post Zaggy shared on November 30 praising Woods' one of the best swings. In the caption of his post, Zaggy stated that the golfer had a flat wrist and no flip, which he considered flawless.

The X post read,

"Flat wrist, down the line, on plane swing, no flip. Perfection. 110 professional wins 15 major championships 3 time US Amateur Champion Ranked #1 683 consecutive weeks 10x PGATour money list winner Presidential Medal of Freedom"

Henley retweeted this X post on December 1 and stated that if Tiger Woods had not changed his actions, he would have won 25 golf majors. The caddie stated that Woods was the best, and no one came close to him throughout his peak career years. His X post read as follows:

"People are entitled to their own opinions but mine is, IF HE DOESN’T CHANGE THIS ACTION HE WINS 25 MAJORS MINIMUM!!!! Maybe even more. He was just so much better than everyone else."

Tiger Woods is currently out of competitive golf as he is recovering from a back surgery he underwent in October. It was a spinal disc replacement operation at the L4/L5 level, and while Woods' return date has not been set, speculations suggest he could return on the PGA Seniors tour.

Tiger Woods will turn 50 years old on December 30, making him eligible to compete on the PGA Champions Tour. There has been a lot of excitement surrounding this, since Woods' return to the Seniors Tour would rekindle some of the old rivalries, and even legendary golfer Colin Montgomerie wants to compete against Woods once more.

In a recent interview, Montgomerie stated that he would love to compete against Woods again because it would remind him of the days when they were neck and neck in major golf tournaments. The famous golfer stated:

"To compete against him once again, looking for his name on the board, looking for his score, as we always did in major championships. Where is he? What did he do today? Have we got a chance or not? Generally not. So it would be great. And [there would be] no asterisk if you win a major now because Tiger was in the field!"

Currently, Tiger Woods will also be going to host his 2025 Hero World Challenge, which will begin on December 4.
