Players backing Tiger Woods to win another Major

Tiger Woods has been tipped by the majority of his PGA Tour colleagues to add to his tally of 14 Major victories.

The American has not lifted a Major title since overcoming a broken leg to win the 2008 US Open following a dramatic playoff with Rocco Mediate.

He has since dropped out of the top 100 of the world rankings, in the aftermath of well-publicised personal problems and several injury layoffs.

Woods launches his latest comeback at this week's Masters, a tournament which he has won four times in his career, and his peers are backing him to make a successful return.

A poll conducted by ESPN found that 64 of 103 of his fellow professionals believe that Woods will eventually secure an elusive 15th Major triumph. This compares to the 51% support that Woods received after his Torrey Pines withdrawal in February.

The 39-year-old begins his Masters campaign in Thursday's penultimate group, alongside Jimmy Walker and Welshman Jamie Donaldson.
