Default How long will Tiger play?

He's 34 yr old now, with every record known to man within his reach.
I really can't see him playing past 40. Thoughts?

When he feels he no longer has what it takes to be #1 in the world. I think he retires on top.

Yeah...but he's made a billion so far and even 6 more years will vault his legacy to the stratosphere....where's the challenge to him.? In no way am I saying what he does is easy, but he's winning at a 35% clip when others haven't held a single trophy.

He'll only consider stopping when he's won more majors than anyone else.

like GPK said, when he no longer feels he can win tourney's. Which will probably be when he is 55 the way that man stays in shape. He will DEFINATELY play through 2016 as he wants to win a gold medal.

he will want to break jack's record

he will want to set the record for oldest major winner as well in my opinion

he will be able to mange his game once jack's record is broken to play on a very limited schedule but to be fully prepared for the majors....if greg norman and tom watson can come very close to winning a major in theor 50's , tiger will want to do that as well....i don't think once he goes by jack he just stops, as long as the knee is not an issue he will continue to play

Tiger could have 25-30 majors by the time he's done.

30 would be a stretch , he would have to have a couple of years with 3 majors to get to 30 in my opinion

i could see 25 if he stayed healthy

Tiger really seems to be a competition junky I see him taking great joy in beating the young guns while he is in his 40's and perhaps 50's.
