Tiger Woods

Precision Sports

Tiger Woods is an American professional golfer widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the sport's history. He turned professional in 1996 after a dominant amateur career and went on to win numerous major championships across the late 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, at one point holding all four professional major titles at the same time, a feat known as the "Tiger Slam." Known for his fierce competitiveness and precise, powerful play, he transformed golf's popularity and finances worldwide, and completed a celebrated comeback by winning the 2019 Masters after years of injury.
