Nearly two-thirds of writers polled by the Augusta Chronicle newspaper at The Masters this week do not think Tiger Woods will break Jack Nicklaus's record 18 Majors.

A total of 66 journalists were asked their opinion and the split was 43-23 in favour of Woods failing to set a new mark.

Rory McIlroy came out top with 15 votes, followed by Woods and Phil Mickelson on 10 each and current world number one Luke Donald on seven.
