American golfer Tiger Woods has said that he does need a major triumph to make the present season great for him, and is pleased at where his game currently is.

According to Sport24, Woods will try to end a five-year major win drought starting Thursday at the 95th PGA Championship at Oak Hill, where he shared 39th 10 years ago at a PGA in the second-worst 72-hole pro finish of his career.

The world number one has won five US PGA titles this season, including last week's World Golf Championships tournament at Firestone, another WGC event at Doral, the Players Championship and at Torrey Pines and Bay Hill, the report said.

Woods said that although it had been the longest spell since he had not won a major, he has certainly had his share of chances to win and will eventually get more even more chances to win.

The golfer said that it had been a great year for him so far; as he had won five times but winning one major championship automatically meant one had a great year.
