| US golfer Tiger Woods feels this week's Open championship at Troon will identify the best player in the world, but there is a good chance it will not be him.
Finishing 17th at the US Open last month means it is now eight majors without a win for Woods, the longest barren streak since he went 10 majors without a victory af
Compare that to his run of seven wins in 11 majors from the 1999 USPGA Championship up to the 2002 US Open - which included the famous 'Tiger Slam' when he held all four titles at once - and it is easy to see why former coach Butch Harmon believes Woods is "in denial" about the state of his game. The pair may have since called a truce following their war of words at Shinnecock Hills, but there is no disguising the fact that the world number one has not been on top form recently. The 28-year-old has recorded seven top-10 finishes this season, four in his last five events, and won the Accenture Match Play title at La Costa in February.
