Do you want to know what do those Pros saying about Tiger Woods? Especially about Jack Nicklaus, the great golf player as himself is.  

"Years ago, somebody told me that when Tiger was a kid, he taped a list of my golf accomplishments on his closet. Well, if he's making a checkmark every time he matches me in something, he must have his pencil out pretty darn often."

"He's much better now than a year ago. His ability to control the distance on his golf irons has improved dramatically. I don't know if I ever did that -- made such a substantial improvement in one part of my game in one year's time."

"He came out into this golf world under a tremendous amount of expectation and pressure and performed. And has performed at the highest level every single time he's come out. He's proved himself human, where he can make a double bogey, like everybody else can, and he'll recover from that. And I think he wants to win. And winning is his objective every time he turns out."

"Tiger didn't do anything the last nine holes [of the Masters] except stay out of harm's way. Nobody challenged him. Piece of cake. I did that a dozen times. It was exciting to watch a mature, smart player ... somebody who had total command of himself and what to do.

following the 2002 Masters

"There isn't a flaw in his golf or his makeup. He will win more majors than Arnold Palmer and me combined. Somebody is going to dust my records. It might as well be Tiger, because he's such a great kid. He has the finest, fundamentally sound golf swing I've ever seen."
