 Tiger Woods must win five more majors to surpass the record of 18 set by Jack Nicklaus. But Tiger leads Nicklaus in another important statistical category - Sports Illustrated cover appearances. Bill reviews a new collection of all the magazine's covers chronicling over 50 years and sports.

Annika Sorenstam won seventy two LPGA events and ten major championships. She was named Female Golfer of the Year eight times. She never made the cover of Sports Illustrated.

This segment aired on October 30, 2010.
