(Reuters) - Tiger Woods should be a contender at this week's PGA Championship and June's U.S. Open as he chases Jack Nicklaus's record haul of major titles because of his familiarity with the venues, longtime associate Greg McLaughlin has told Reuters.

Woods stunned the sports world by winning the Masters at Augusta National last month to end an 11-year major drought and claim his 15th major title, moving within three victories of Nicklaus's long-standing record.
