45% of Golf365 readers who voted in our poll reckon world number one Tiger Woods will draw a blank in this year's majors.

We posed the question about how many majors Woods would win this year the day after Tiger finished a very creditable fourth at Augusta in his first tournament of 2010.

But despite reminding us of his golfing talent following the extended break he took following his sex scandal shame, plenty of our readers still expect Tiger to flop in the final three majors of 2010.

The 45% is surprisingly high given that two of those three majors are at St Andrews and Pebble Beach where Woods has enjoyed fantastic success.

Tiger has won the last two Opens held at St Andrews (2005 and 2000) while he blitzed the field by 15 shots the last time the US Open was held at Pebble Beach in 2000.

The full results of our poll are below:

How many majors will Tiger win this year?

0 - 45%
1 - 31%
2 - 19%
3 - 4%

Interestingly, those odds tally quite closely with Sky Bet's special market on Tiger's 2010 Major performance.

They bet: Even money he wins no majors in 2010, 6/4 one, 5/1 two, 20/1 three.
