I think he’s being more realistic about what his body can handle knowing that regular tour wins don’t mean anything for his legacy.
I think he he can compete in the masters and British for the next decade. The other two are going to be tough with the recent set ups
I think it does means something to beat Snead’s record, though it’s probably a given at this point.
Ask Tiger which record he cares about
There’s only one
One and only one number he cares about. Also, if he beats that number he also beats the Snead number, so yeah, I'd say he cares about 4 tournaments a year and only 4 tournaments a year.
If Brooks or Fleetwood play well but you don't see it, did they actually play well?
#1 player in the world and they're barely showing him. Starting to now that he's 1 shot back but I guess being 2 back didn't make it feel necessary for golf channel. Just brutal.
So is Tiger a one trick pony? Masters or bust from here on out? If he can't do well at Pebble then he is done on any U.S. Open course.
he’s a no trick pony.

Wow. Talk about stating the obvious.
He's most likely not breaking Jack's record at this point. But having the all-time wins record means something for his legacy though.
Obviously he cares more about the majors, as we do, than anything else. Thought everyone just assumed that.
Don't see it. He is either the best golfer ever or the 2nd best. I think he's the best, but dude could go with the PR Open or John Deere and not one thing about his legacy is different.

I think this is one he can win again, though he's gonna need to get lucky with weather.
He's not winning a US Open. Looking at the PGA sites, Aronomink would be one, but he'll be old as dirt by then. I think Master's and if he gets lucky, this one.
Having the most wins though at least adds an accomplishment for the GOAT argument.
I don't believe that Tiger could win a John Deere or PR Open. Too easy of a course and there would be a lot of low scores even with a weaker field.
True. Like the web.com or whatever it's called.
He's not beating Snead in the GOAT argument and already has more wins than Jack so don't see how it impacts it in the least. Say he won the John Deere, would your opinion of TIger change one TIIIIIINNNNY bit?

No. But in a hundred years from now it will be an important stat for his legacy.
A hundred years from now, how many people, even golf fans, will sit and watch the 1997 masters on youtube (or some other platform)? Probably not many, if any. But they will look at the numbers. Let's say Tiger finishes his career with 20 more PGA wins, (and the most of all time), but 2 less majors than Jack. I think that will be the argument in determining the GOAT in people's eyes. The fact that Tiger won 25% of the tournaments he entered in his prime will come second to that.
Edit: By 20 more PGA wins, I mean 20 more than Jack.
