Woods hints at pulling a Seinfeld

So, yeah, you’re Tiger Woods. You’re the best golfer in the world. You’re chilling over in the UK, awaiting this weekend HSBC World Matchplay Championship and you drop this bomb on the Telegraph.

In essence, you say, “Once I win my nineteenth major and take over Jack Nicklaus for most major wins all-time, I’m peace-ing out of the Pro Tour.”

The quote the Telegraph has from Tiger isn’t all that telling, but their lead certainly indicates he could be leaning this way.

Which I think might not be what fans want, but what’s probably best for him. Go out on top, with the most major wins ever, call it a day and go play some tennis and hang out with the wifey.

But for a guy as uber-competitive as T. Woods, is he going to get to 19 and think he can go for 20? 23? 25? Would he really just stop at one better that Nicklaus. Maybe. Maybe not.

Either way, I think going out on top, with your dignity intact is probably the best choice. Brett Favre are you listening?
