There are no doubts about Tiger Woods' major pedigree: he has 14 major titles and we know that beating Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 is what drives him on. There is also no doubting his US Open record: he has won three of them, the last one while swinging on a damaged leg. And there is no doubting his ability to play Pebble Beach - he won the 2000 US Open there by the monumental margin of 15 shots and earlier that year won the AT&T Pro-am despite having trailed the leader by seven strokes with seven holes to play (he finished eagle-birdie-par-birdie to register a two-shot win). On the other hand, since his personal life went into meltdown in November, his head has been thrown into the sort of doubt he has never, ever experienced. You almost suspect he is only playing this year because he knows the first three major venues offer him gilt-edged opportunities to close on Nicklaus' 18. But, apart from his first round at Augusta, Tiger has not been playing Tiger-like golf in 2010. Can Pebble inspire him again? It might do.
