Tiger Woods had a press conference last week where he hinted at his golf career being all but over.

But Jack Nicklaus is more optimistic than that.

“He has always been a very focused young man with a great work ethic, and is tremendously talented,” Nicklaus told CNN.

“To count him out of that would be foolish, he certainly has a very good chance of doing that.”

“He still has a lot of good years ahead of him in my mind, but now he’s really sitting back and saying ‘You know if it takes that long…’ He’s got it figured out — obviously it’s frustrating for him, but we haven’t seen the end of him.”

Sounds like Nicklaus wants Tiger to keep playing, just like the rest of us!
