November 12, 2013. Tiger Woods is happy with his third place finish in the Turkish Open on Sunday, where he remained four shots behind the winner Frenchmen, Victor Dubuisson. Satisfied with his recent performance, World No. 1 has already started focusing on next year’s Major.
“Next year is really good one for me in the Majors, and on top of having won at three of the four venues, I’ve had a third and a second at Pinehurst and hopefully I can keep improving there,” Woods said.
“I’m looking forward to the four venues. I like them and obviously I’ve played well on them.”
Next year will be six years since Woods last won a Major Championship in capturing the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines.
However Woods remains quietly confident of moving closer to Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of 18 Majors given the Masters, the British Open at Royal Liverpool and PGA Championship at Valhalla will be staged in 2014 on venues where he has won in the past.
Woods has won four times at Augusta National while he won the 2006 British Open when last staged at Royal Liverpool and he defeated fellow American Bob May in a play-off to capture the PGA Championship at Valhalla when last staged on the Kentucky course in 2000.
The US Open will be held at Pinehurst where Woods was runner-up in 2005 to New Zealander Michael Campbell.
Woods will not play again to his final event of the year when he hosts the December 5 commencing World Challenge at Thousand Oaks in Los Angeles, an event he has captured five times since its inception in 1999.
The 14-time Major winner will then make his 2014 debut in the 25th anniversary Dubai Desert Classic starting on January 30.
