Two-time major champion Johnny Miller believes Tiger Woods will prove his doubters wrong by winning "at least four times" on the PGA Tour in 2012.

Miller, who has carved out a niche for himself as an outspoken television commentator after a successful playing career that saw him win both the US Open and Open Championship, reckons Woods - who ended 2011 with victory at the Chevron World Challenge - is in position to embark on a comeback season that will leave nobody in any doubt about his ability.

"I think Tiger is the breakout player of the year in 2012. I really do believe that," Miller said. "I think he'll win probably at least four times.

"I always analyse from how bad a bad shot is. Tiger's bad shots, especially with his long clubs, were pretty bad. Now his bad shots with the long clubs are quite good. Almost in the 2000, 2001 range [when he won the 'Tiger Slam']. His irons were never that poor, even when he was struggling, and his short game has really come along.

"I think he is very determined to show the naysayers that they didn't know what they were talking about when they sort of wrote him off.

"I think he's going to have a big year."
