Tiger Woods has been tipped by the majority of his PGA Tour colleagues to add to his tally of 14 Major victories.

The American has not lifted a Major title since overcoming a broken leg to win the 2008 US Open following a dramatic playoff with Rocco Mediate.

He has since dropped out of the top 100 of the world rankings, in the aftermath of well-publicised personal problems and several injury layoffs.

Woods launches his latest comeback at this week's Masters, a tournament which he has won four times in his career, and his peers are backing him to make a successful return.

A poll conducted by ESPN found that 64 of 103 of his fellow professionals believe that Woods will eventually secure an elusive 15th Major triumph. This compares to the 51% support that Woods received after his Torrey Pines withdrawal in February.

The 39-year-old begins his Masters campaign in Thursday's penultimate group, alongside Jimmy Walker and Welshman Jamie Donaldson.
