The greatest golfer of all-time, perhaps no athlete in history has had such a tumultuous career. Tiger dominated golf from his debut in 1996 until his fateful car crash in 2009. Woods’ 15 Major victories rank second all-time. His 81 wins on the PGA Tour are also good for second all-time. But once his personal life came crashing down, his body also betrayed him. Since 2008, Woods has suffered a fractured tibia, ACL and MCL injuries, an injured Achilles’ tendon, and has undergone four back surgeries. Tiger’s career as a top-player seemed to be over. After a surprising 2018 season in which his play steadily improved, Woods captured his first victory in over five years in the last Tour tournament of 2018, and then won his fifth green jacket with a 2019 Masters victory. A self described “walking miracle”, Woods is beginning to look like the player he once was, and has a chance to catch Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories.
