The likelihood that Tiger Woods, 45, will walk the fairways of Augusta National next spring appear remote based on his comments Tuesday at the Hero World Challenge. Next year's 150th British Open at St. Andrews? Maybe a slim possibility, but it's conceivable that Woods' major-championship playing days are over. If that's the case, then what a run. Eighty-seven career major starts, 15 wins — a win roughly every sixth major — 41 top-10 finishes and a streak of 39 consecutive cuts made, which is one shy of playing on the weekend at a major for an entire decade.
