Nicklaus: Tiger will still set major mark

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida - Tiger Woods has not won a title in nearly 16 months but golf legend Jack Nicklaus said on Wednesday he still believes Woods will break his all-time mark of 18 major crowns.

"I still think he will break my record," Nicklaus said before the PGA Honda Classic pro-am event.

Woods has not won since a sex scandal erupted around him in November, 2009 with the 14-time major champion admitting to affairs with multiple mistresses, costing him major financial sponsors and his marriage to Elin Nordegren.
