World number one Woods has already piled up 13 of golf's blue riband titles, including four in a row from the 2000 US Open to the 2001 US Masters for the so-called 'Tiger Slam'.

"I think he will do it and it would make for a fantastic, fantastic achievement if it (the record) is ever broken in this modern era," Montgomerie told a news conference on the eve of this week's Target World Challenge.

"All credit to him if he does it, and who says 2008 won't be the time he does all four?"

"It would be a remarkable achievement and somehow you hope the one person to do it is him."

Woods, who clamed his 13th major at the PGA Championship in August, has dominated the game for the last nine years and Montgomerie has seen no sign of his grip loosening.

"I think the chasing pack are getting better but the trouble is so is he," said the 44-year-old Scot.

"I always feel his best time was in 2000 when he held all four majors at one time and I think he's getting back to that level again."
