Tiger Woods is one of the finest golfers we have ever witnessed. He started off his career on a grand note and went on winning one after another major titles. The golf world is always buzzing with his achievements and his whereabouts are always featured on the front page of Golf News.

To be precise, Tiger Woods enjoys special attention in the sport circle for all the good and bad reason. He was at the helm of his career, when he found himself in the midst of a controversy that caused him major embarrassment and even his professional career was adversely affected by it.

On the wake of such incidents, he decided to take an indefinite leave from the golf circle. But he returned in the golf circle, the very next year but it took some doing on his part to regain his lost form after a gap of almost 20 long months.

This development has had a huge impact on Tiger Woods and he had to ask public apology but his image as an immaculate person has been shattered then. He returned to the golf court in April and participated in 2010 Masters Tournament but he failed to make any cut. But his performance was not that bad. He finished the tournament for fourth but the good thing was that, he was welcome by the audience, which definitely came as a relief to the beleaguered golf player.

However, Tiger Woods is still known for his signature style and as one who has added a new dimension to golf with a powerful combination of touch, power and tenacity which are unlikely to be found in any other golfers. He has been shortlisted as one of the greatest American athletes and sometimes, he is pitted against the likes of Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth, which is certainly a remarkable achievement by any means. If these are not enough, here are more.

He is the undisputed leader in the golf court with 14 professional major golf championships and what’s more, he has participated in a record number of PGA tour events. He is the youngest and the fastest to grab 50 tournaments on tour and he is also the youngest player to win Grand Slam title, which is another major achievement of Tiger Woods.

Jack Nicklaus is the only player beside Tiger Woods who had managed to achieve similar height of success in his career. Throughout his career Tiger Woods has won 16 World Golf Championships and he has been a consistent performer in his career. He ruled the number 1 position in the golf court for the greatest total number of week and he is the only golfer in the planet who has been awarded PGA Player of the Year for ten times.

Tiger Woods have not seen major ups and downs in his professional career. It was only when his infidelity came to light, his career suffered a huge setback. His supposed relation with other women were highlighted in the Golf News and it affected him so much that he decided to take a break from his illustrious career only to come back stronger later.
