One of the things we golf fans should be thankful for is that Jack Nicklaus is still willing to answer questions about whether Tiger Woods will break his record of 18 majors. Nicklaus’s stock answer is usually something like, “I think he will, but he’s got to do it.” In a visit last week to the Pasadera Country Club on the Monterey Peninsula, Nicklaus added a new wrinkle to his reply, according to Jerry Stewart of the Monterey County Herald.

"Will Tiger go back to the way he was, winning all the time? Probably not. But will he go back and play very well? Yes," Nicklaus said. "People said, 'Look who Jack played against in his prime.' I played against Palmer, Trevino, Watson, Miller — all guys who won a lot of tournaments and majors. Well, now Tiger is playing against some kids like the Rory McIlroys, Jason Days and Keegan Bradleys of the golf world, who've been successful and are 12-13 years younger than Tiger. So he's got his run of guys to play against. So we'll see. These young kids have learned how to win. Not at the level of the Trevinos or Watsons, but they will because they're such great players at a young age. And that's competition that Tiger will have the rest of his career. I've always said Tiger will pass my record but he's still got to do it. If you look out there, there is no one else other than Tiger who's won five majors. For some guys, that's a whole career."

Nicklaus also talked about his efforts to grow the game among junior and female golfers, who've been leaving golf in droves.

"Most other sports start small. With football, you may throw around a Nerf ball. In baseball, you've got T-ball. But in golf, you start with a hard club and a small, hard ball," Nicklaus said. "The idea is to let people have success so instead of running them off, it encourages them to come back. Too often, people might play once and say the game is too tough. You can start them with bigger holes, shorter distances, golf clubs and balls that are easier to hit and no one will get hurt. ... The kind of things where you can bring them in a park and they're compatible."

In making things easier for new players, this past Labor Day weekend Nicklaus hosted a 12-hole tournament on a Tee it Forward-like, 6,000-yard Muirfield Village Golf Club course with 8-inch holes instead of the normal 4.25 inches. Players also had 2.5 hours to play, with a one-stroke penalty for every five minutes over the 2.5 hour timeline.

"The longest round we had was two hours, 20 minutes," Nicklaus said. "The women really enjoyed it; the beginning kids enjoyed it, and the seniors enjoyed it. The idea was to have fun."

Monty to visit British troops in Afghanistan

Sorry, guys, no Keira Knightley this year, but British troops in Afghanistan will get to see Colin Montgomerie and the Ryder Cup trophy this week when the victorious European team captain visits the region, according to Reuters.

The 48-year-old Scot is to spend four days with army personnel and British Embassy staff. Montgomerie will take the Ryder Cup trophy his team won at Celtic Manor in Wales last year with him and is also expected to hand out golf equipment to the troops.

“I am looking forward to it very much,” he told reporters. “I’m not taking my own golf clubs but I have gathered together a lot of equipment for the troops.”

Adam Scott says he’s playing better than ever

American golf is quiet this week (for once) during the Thanksgiving weekend, but the Australian PGA has attracted some big names, including Jason Day, Geoff Ogilvy, Aaron Baddeley, Greg Norman, Darren Clarke, Bubba Watson, Y.E. Yang, K.T. Kim., and Adam Scott, who is in career form, according to the Courier Mail (Australia).

"My game is, on a whole, better than it's ever been in my career,'' Scott said. "I feel like every week for a while now, I've been walking out there and putting myself in a position where I can win.

"Mentally I think I'm all right, physically I'm just a little tired. I picked up a bit of a cold from Saturday's weather in Melbourne...it was a big week with everything that goes on but I've been doing nothing for a couple of days so I should be right to go.''

After becoming the youngest player to win an LPGA event, 16-year-old Lexi Thompson emerged as the great hope for an LPGA Tour in need of a star. And although the tour approved Thompson's petition to forgo Q-school, granting her membership for the 2012 season, commissioner Michael Whan doesn't believe Lexi needs to be the LPGA's knight in shining armor.  

"This is no offense to her, but we don't need Lexi to be the one any time soon," Whan says. "If she does become the one, great, we'll fan that flame. But when I see reporters say that, finally, Lexi is the great young American the LPGA needs, I find that hard to stomach. Do we just discount Paula Creamer, Michelle Wie, Morgan Pressel, Cristie Kerr, Stacy Lewis, Angela Stanford and Brittany Lincicome? And there are so many others.

We have never been as stocked with talent as we are right now. The talent pool from all over the world is stunning. And the fact people are looking for the next one while Yani (Tseng) is currently rewriting the record books is strange to me. I think it's fantastic that Lexi may turn out to be one of those true unique superstars. But I don't have to wait to write that story.

Yani is already writing it."

Thompson shares Whan's sentiments. Sitting down with Steve DiMeglio of USA Today, Lexi revealed that she is more focused on playing her best and learning the ropes during her first professional season, not trying to play the role of hero.

"There are so many great players out on the tour. There are so many great players the fans want to watch. I'm just going to go out there and do what I love and try and do my best."

"It's all going to be a learning process for me — where to stay, where to eat, how to play practice rounds. I just want to learn. I think I'm pretty prepared for it, but I know I'll be learning as I go."

As for the crown that has been placed upon her head by the fans and media?

"I'm not the savior. I don't even think about being a savior."

Adam Scott reunites with Ana Ivanovic

After splitting in 2010, Adam Scott and Ana Ivanovic have rekindled the flame. Not only was Ivanovic in Sydney last week to lend her support during the Australian Open, but the tennis star stepped out with Scott at the Presidents Cup gala dinner. Prior to the event, Scott's teammate Geoff Ogilvy tweeted the following picture, dubbing the pairing as "the glamour couple.

Wozzilroy has yet to comment on another golf/tennis power couple stepping into the spotlight.
