Colin Montgomerie won 31 times on the European Tour, including eight Order of Merit titles. He is a Ryder Cup legend and World Golf Hall of Fame member. But he never won a regular-tour major nor a PGA Tour event.Tiger Woods, on the other hand, has 79 PGA Tour wins, including 14 major titles.But, the Scot told Golf.com he prefers his career over Woods:
I never won a major, Montgomerie said ahead of the PGA Tour Champions Chubb Classic. Tiger won 14. But would I trade my career for Tigers? No. I started out this game a pretty good golfer and finished in the Hall of Fame.I feel I have overachieved. So how could I say I wish it were better? People will say, Well, he didnt win a major. And, yes, I would have liked to shut them up by winning one. But thats my only regret, really. Great that I have won senior majors, which has quieted the odd person.Ive made mistakes. We all make mistakes. But Ive had a long career. I dont think Tiger will be out here at 53. He might say, I dont need the money. But its not just money. Its self-esteem. Self-esteem is huge in life. You walk a wee bit taller, having done something well. I like this life. I like meeting new people. I like the travel. I love the life. Whether its for everybody, I cant say.Montgomerie is a regular on the senior circuit, having won three majors there.More thoughts on Tiger from Monty:
If Tiger loved the life, I cant say. For Tiger, I think there was a certain record in the back of his mind: 18, 18, 18. Or 19. Got to get to 19 majors. Whether he enjoyed the tour life, I don't know. But that number was there19. To be seen as the best ever. And really, hes well beyond 19. There are the 14 majors, plus the 15 World Golf Championship events. In those, hes beating 60 of the best players in the world! So to me, his number is 29. And then compare his 79 Tour wins to Sam Sneads 82. Number 100 in Sam Sneads day was a club pro who could beat Snead for a day, but never over four days. Today, No. 100 can win any week.Nineteen has been such a focus for him. If Tiger had his children with him fulltime, a wife, a settled home, he could have gotten to 18, to 19. I know from my own life how hard it is to play golf when your life at home is not settled. After that Thanksgiving night changed everything, he no longer had a private life. A private life by the term itself is a private life. You have a public life and a private life. And when the private life becomes public, its dangerous. It hurt. It hurt him. It hurt the game of golf.I do hope Tiger can come back. Everybody benefited from his run. I saw it in my life. How the game went from Palmer to Nicklaus to Trevino. Then Seve and Norman. But then it was taken to a whole different level by Tiger. And the marketing of the game has been hurt by Tiger being sidelined. Yes, we have a good set right now. Dont get me wrong. The Jason Days, the Jordan Spieths, the Rory McIlroys, the Justin Roses, the Henrik Stensons, the Rickie Fowlers. They are good at what they do. But Tiger? Different, different. People talk about being A-list, about moving the needle. Well, he moved the needle. It would be good if Tiger could come back and contend. Just contend. Never mind win. Just to contend would be great."
