His five Masters titles, four USPGAs, three US Opens and three Open victories are on show in a special cabinet.

He said: “I’ve been lucky enough to win all four Majors multiple times, and each has its own section.

“I have a big cabinet with four shelves, so that the Major trophies all have their own row.

“And yeah, there’s space for more — after all, one of those rows already has five trophies on it, and there’s four on another shelf.”

And Woods, 46, says he takes special pride in winning The Open, the oldest and most prestigious of the four Majors.

Two of his three victories have come at St Andrews (2000 and 2005),  the Home of Golf.

He added: “St Andrews is my favourite course on earth, and The Open is extra special for me personally, as someone who knew Arnold Palmer.

“Arnold’s the one who made The British Open what it is today.

“He came over in the Sixties and qualified, finished second, qualified, finished first, qualified, finished first — but if you ever make me qualify, I’m not coming back!

“But just look at the names on the Claret Jug, and you go right through time.

“It’s like a time warp, just how they put the names on.

“Everyone who won that championship, they know how hard it was.

“To have won the Open Championship three times — and for me, specifically to have won twice at the Home of Golf — is even more special.

“As Jack Nicklaus says, your career is not complete unless you’ve won an Open Championship at the Home of Golf.”
