Why Tiger Woods was once accused of ‘cheating’ while chasing Jack Nicklaus’ major record

During his athletic peak between 1997 and 2008, Tiger Woods accumulated 14 major titles while pursuing the historic record held by Jack Nicklaus. Although physical setbacks and personal controversies ultimately limited his total to 16 victories following his 2019 Masters triumph, his fierce chase once provoked a bizarre critique from former tour winner Mac O’Grady.

In a 2007 interview, O’Grady asserted that Woods utilizing square grooves amounted to cheating comparable to steroid usage. This accusation ignored the reality that competing golfers utilized the exact same equipment configuration, rendering the claim entirely groundless.
