Tiger poses a puzzle for Nicklaus

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida - Jack Nicklaus said he was "painting a picture" when he suggested after a practice round with Tiger Woods at the 1996 Masters that the then 20-year-old had the skill to win at least 10 green jackets.

On Sunday at the Honda Classic, Nicklaus referred to Woods as a "puzzle".

In an interview before making an appearance in the NBC broadcast booth, Nicklaus was raving about the growing number of young players who can win major championships. He said they learned to win because Woods no longer is dominant as he recovers from a litany of injuries.
