    Eldrick “Tiger” Woods

    A Brief History

    On April 14, 2019, Eldrick “Tiger” Woods just pulled off a come from behind victory in the fabled Masters golf tournament, the first come from behind win in his illustrious career of destroying opponents in major tournaments.  At the age of 43, Woods is now 3 Major tournament (US Open, British Open, PGA and Masters) wins behind all time leader Jack Nicklaus.  (See our previous article, “Will Tiger Woods Ever Catch Jack Nicklaus?”)

    Digging Deeper

    Not only has Tiger stunned the golf world, he also made a major boost for those of us thought to be somewhat past our best days, pulling off this epic win at the age of 43.  Plus, talk about comeback-kid performance, today’s great victory is Tiger’s first win in a major tournament in 11 years.  Nagging medical problems, mostly concerning his back have diminished Wood’s game in recent years, but career saving back surgery in 2017 seems to have resolved that particular issue.

    The public and lurid accounts of Tiger Wood’s dalliance with ladies other than his wife and the acrimonious divorce that followed had reduced Tiger’s reputation and likability factor, but not his legendary golf status.  Is Tiger Woods back to being the Old Tiger?  Can he repeat this week’s incredible accomplishment and continue his quest to challenge Jack Nicklaus as the Greatest Golfer of All Time?

    Question for students (and subscribers): Will Tiger Woods Ever Catch Jack Nicklaus?  Please let us know in the comments section below this article.
