Tiger Woods recently finished playing for the British Open in which he really didn't fare well during the competition. He had just had surgery and he still seems rusty from it. Aside from that, his chance to make it to the Ryder Cup team is still not clear due to his poor performance from his last competition as well.

Woods was aware that he ended the completion bad and he had made mistakes which took a toll on him. "Well, I didn't hit the ball very well; that's just plain and simple. I made so many mistakes. When I first came back at Congressional, I made a ton of mistakes there as well. My thought process was off. I missed the ball, like wrong sides. I was too passive at certain points and too aggressive at others."

But even so, Woods is still aiming high towards his career as he is focusing in attaining Sam Snead's all-time tournament record (he is three back) and Jack Nicklaus' majors record (he is four back).

He said "I think there are probably two goals that are pushing me right now which one is to get the all-time (tournament) wins record," Woods said. "I'm only three back of Sam (Snead) on that one and obviously the major record, you know, being four back of Jack. So, those two are pretty synonymous with the greats of the game of golf, to be number two and on both lists is not too bad. And that means I've had a pretty good career."

For now, Woods is focusing on his performance this weekend at the South Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. He is aiming for a strong finish in the competition in order to be chosen for the Ryders Cup.

According to Tom Watson "If he's playing well and he's healthy, I'll pick him. But then the caveat is if he doesn't get into the FedEx Cup (playoffs), what to do then? And that's the question I can't answer right now." This weekend will be very crucial for Woods if he wants to achieve his goal and if he wants to be a part of the Ryder cup.
