• golf

Tiger Woods appearances are rare. Recently operated on his ankle after his abandonment at the last Masters, the man with 82 victories on the PGA Tour was present recently to see his son Charlie win with eight strokes ahead of one of the biggest tournaments of the season among the 14-15, with the only score under par.

Tiger Woods, news

Tiger Woods is one of the patrons of the Hurricane Junior Tour on which Charlie shines. The Tiger is still recovering and we should not see him again in competition this season. His presence remains hoped for on the American Ryder Cup team this fall in Italy, in a role that remains to be defined.

And to see him play golf, it will certainly not be before the PNC Championship that he would play with his family with his son at the end of the season. Eldrick Tont Woods (born December 30, 1975), better known as Tiger Woods, is an American golfer.

Considered among the best golfers of all time, as well as the best of the modern era, in his more than twenty-year career he won 110 professional tournaments, including 15 majors, making him the most successful player in history ; held the number one position in the OWG world rankings for a total of 683 weeks, 281 of which were consecutive weeks (from June 12, 2005 to October 30, 2010), and is the only golfer to have won all four majors in the modern era within a single year (between 2000 and 2001).

In 2014, he became the first sportsman in the world to surpass one billion dollars in earnings from wins and sponsorships.[5] He was later surpassed by Michael Jordan and his net worth is estimated at $1.8 billion as of 2023, making him the second highest paid sportsman ever.

In 2019, US President Donald Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States of America. Winner of 15 major tournaments (second only to Jack Nicklaus, with 18) between 1997 and 2019, he indelibly marked the history of this sport, bringing it under the spotlight after years in which such a dominant and charismatic figure was missing.

Among the many moments that have gone down in golf history, they remember the incredible holed approach to the 16th of the last round of the 2005 Masters, and the victory after a play-off hole against Rocco Mediate at the U.S.

2008 Open at the end of the four rounds played with a tibia fracture and a knee ligament that will be reconstructed a few days later. Historic rivalries with Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh, among the only athletes able to undermine his dominance, even if only on and off.
