Is Tiger the greatest?
June 22nd, 2008 by Doogs
The legend of Tiger Woods career inked another chapter last weekend as he played the final rounds, and an 18 hole playoff with Rocco Mediate in obvious pain thanks to a dodgy knee. It wasnt until he had won on the first extra hole of the 18 hole playoff (the 91st hole!), that he revealed he was going straight in for surgery on his knee and would be out of action for the rest of the season. A gutsy win
The title of World Greatest sportsperson is often thrown about, but Tiger has to be right up there. Winning his 14th major and 89th career win puts him only 4 majors behind Jack Nicklaus. Tiger tees up each week on his own, against 150 other players and must beat them all to win the title. He has taken the sport to another level and increased viewers and participants. To the extent that players that win any of the titles for the rest of the year will probably feel a hollow victory considering Tiger will be watching from the sidelines.
Get back on the course as soon as possible Tiger, golf needs you!
