The world number one has won four times this year - his latest victory coming at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Akron on Sunday - but none of those have been in majors and those are the only tournaments which really count for Woods.

"Golf-wise it's been pretty good but not great," said Woods, who has eight top-10 finishes this year, won more than £4million and not missed a cut. "I just think the major championships are valued that highly, and I've come close. I just haven't gotten it done yet."

Woods grabbed a share of the lead early on Sunday at both the Masters and US Open but was unable to make a final push as Zach Johnson and Angel Cabrera both went on to win their first majors.

He was then off the pace at Carnoustie defending his Open crown, finishing 12th as Padraig Harrington finally broke his major duck.

With three first-time winners making their mark on this season's majors the suggestion is Woods is finally facing a concerted challenge to his decade of domination of the sport.

"It makes it even more challenging to win major championships," he said.

"You don't have the same collection of guys any more. We're seeing new faces springing up and this year is an example of that."
