Tiger winning another Major 'a no-brainer' - Padraig Harrington

Padraig Harrington is absolutely convinced that Tiger Woods will win at least one more Major, and likely more.

Harrington joined Off The Ball for an interview following his second-place finish in the Czech Masters, and was asked about Tiger's prospects of yet more silverware after an enormous, often-mortal looking, stall in his golfing career.

"I'm incredibly impressed with his comeback. Really impressed. In his current form, he's a great player again. He's still not the player he was, and he's still not going to win with his B-game, but he has a game that is good enough to win Majors and will win Majors.

"I really think he will win a few Majors if he stays healthy, I think that challenging 18 Majors will be difficult, but it's on the cards.

"One of them is a no-brainer. He's definitely winning another Major. But the problem with saying that he is going to win four or five, is that is a pretty decent career for anybody. He is a great player again, but there is going to be scar tissue there. He's not the same player he was ten years ago.

"If he didn't come up against Brooks Koepka on form and buzzing, Tiger would have been there. The next Major, he could come up against a rookie down the stretch or an inexperienced guy that doesn't have a good finish, and all of a sudden then Tiger has played into a lead or a tie for the lead.

"His iron play is back to being the best in the game. It was always one of his strongest points, but all he needs is a decent week with the driver and the putter either side of it, and he's winning!"
