Tiger Woods shot the worst round of his career over the weekend

85.

That's a big number.

I'm so old, I remember when everyone was predicting that Tiger was going to so easily pass Nicklaus' record of PGA major wins.

By all accounts, it's only a matter of time before Tiger Woods breaks Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major golf championships. So we looked at all the angles and can now project when he is most likely to claim the record. Here's a look.

Just by the numbers

Tiger has averaged 1.18 major victories a year since his first major in 1997. Rounding that down to one a year, if he only follows form, he'll tie Nicklaus in 2012 and break the mark in 2013. 

Now, it's been about seven years since Woods won a major (2008)...and he's 39 years old.

Time catches up with everyone.
