(Reuters) - Tiger Woods has endured a victory drought of almost six years at the majors but Jack Nicklaus remains convinced that the former world number one is capable of winning at least five more over the next decade, if he stays healthy.

Woods, who has been sidelined from competitive golf since late March because of back surgery, needs a further five wins in golf's grand slam events to surpass the record 18 career majors piled up by Nicklaus, his childhood idol.
