AKRON, Ohio<\/span> Aug 1 (Reuters) – Back at one of his happiest
\nhunting grounds for this week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational,
\nTiger Woods has spelt out what would transform a successful
\nseason for him on the PGA Tour into a great one.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The American world number two has triumphed three times on
\nthe U.S. circuit in 2012 but has yet to add another major title
\nto his career haul of 14 with his most recent coming at the 2008
\nU.S. Open.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“Winning golf tournaments makes it successful, but winning a
\nmajor makes it a great year,” Woods told reporters at Firestone
\nCountry Club on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“You can go from having a ‘so-so’ year to all of a sudden
\nwinning one major and … it’s a great year because you’re part
\nof history when you do something like that.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“Ernie has been consistent this year … but then all of a
\nsudden it just jumps you into a different category,” he said of
\nSouth African Ernie Els who ended a 10-year victory drought at
\nthe majors by winning last month’s British Open at Royal Lytham.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Woods was in contention going into the weekend at the last
\ntwo majors before fading, finishing joint 21st at the U.S. Open
\nand tying for third at the British Open.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The final major of the year, the PGA Championship, takes
\nplace next week at Kiawah Island in South Carolina and he would
\ndearly love to take winning form there from Firestone where he
\nhas triumphed a record seven times.<\/p>\n
