BELEK. — Tiger Woods, third in the Turkish Open on Sunday, has one event remaining this year but he’s already focussing on next year’s golf Majors and returning to three of four venues where he has tasted success in the past. Woods left Istanbul with a share of third place,four shots behind surprise winner, Victor Dubuisson of France. The world No. 1 could look back to the disappointment Thursday’s weather-delayed opening round when he shot a two under par 70 in a round whee he managed to find only three fairways.
And while Woods’ driving improved marginally he averaged 66 over the next three days. Woods will not play again to his final event of the year when he hosts the December 5 commencing World Challenge at Thousand Oaks in Los Angeles, an event he has captured five times since its inception in 1999. The 14-time
Major winner will then make his 2014 debut in the 25th anniversary Dubai Desert Classic starting on January 30. Next year will be six years since Woods last won a Major Championship in capturing the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines.
However, Woods remains quietly confident of moving closer to Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of 18 Majors given the Masters. — AFP.
