Tiger's biggest rival has always been Jack Nicklaus. Hence the map on his bedroom wall as a child, outlining the path to 19+ majors. Aside from his carnal pleasures, essentially everything in his life has focused upon Nicklaus' record. He doesn't lack for motivation. He lacks the putting stroke of his youth.
