Tiger Woods believes he could still be winning tournaments after he turns 50.
While Woods said he would walk away from golf once he passes his peak, he does not believe that day will come for quite some time.
In an interview with WJFK-FM earlier in the week, the 14-time major champion was asked if he can still envision himself winning once he turns 50.
"Absolutely, 100 percent," he said.
"It just has to be on the right golf course. By the time I'm at that age, it'll be some golf courses over 8,000 yards. It's probably not going to be at one of those. It's probably going to be at a shorter golf course like you'd find at a British Open."
Woods used the example of Tom Watson's performance at the 2009 British Open, where the 59-year-old veteran was in the running for much of the tournament.
"It was like the perfect Open," he said. "It was howling, it was a golf course he had won on and knew how to play and it was playing very quick."
So it would have to be the right tournament at the right time. Woods doesn't see himself winning regularly at that age.
"You can certainly see a certain player playing into their 50s and being successful on a certain venue," he said. "You can't do it on all venues, there's no doubt. Some ballparks are just too big."
