Bob May played his heart out wait, who?May was the PGA’s version of Cinderella in this championship He never backed down. 2001 MastersNobody has ever completed the modern-day Grand Slam in one golfing season. With this win, though, Woods became the first to hold all four trophies at one time. Jack never did it, which is and will always be some material on Tiger’s side in the Tiger v. Jack debate.Tiger held off David Duval who would finally break through to win his first Major championship later that year and Phil Mickelson to win his second green jacket. 7 2000 PGAThis was a duel for the ages It rivals the Mediate-Woods showdown of last weekend. 2000 British OpenAnother dominating performance at the birthplace of golf, St Andrews.
An eight-shot victory over Ernie Els and Thomas Bjorn gave Tiger Woods the career Grand Slam, a feat accomplished by only a handful of golfers.While it wasn’t too dramatic, Tiger himself considers it one of the best wins of his career. 6. As the Tiger legend continues to grow, I’m beginning to think that Tiger set that up with Nike for a few extra benjamins. 5. Don’t forget he had to hold off DiMarco in a sudden-death playoff.This tournament, though, will be remembered for that remarkable, side-winding chip that resulted in the single-greatest advertising moment any endorser has ever experienced. Often referred to as the “Tiger slump,” those months of average play by Sir Eldrick left us all wondering whether he would even come close to Jack’s record of 18 Majors.All of that was put to bed when Tiger chipped in on 16th to pull ahead of Chris DiMarco in the final round.Actually, not quite. Well, we’ll never see another ‘08 Open or ‘97 Masters again, either. 4. 2005 MastersI’m sure many golf experts will argue with me on this one, but it is remarkable how quickly we forget that Tiger went Major-less from July 2002 to April 2005.
Tiger was the only player to finish under par, and he was way under par. He finished fifteen shots ahead of the field on one of the most hallowed golfing grounds on the planet.We will never see that again. Heck, no golfer has ever played through that much pain.He played He won He did exactly what he said he was going to do. 3 2000 U.S OpenThe most dominant performance in golf history. He made a 10-footer on a crappy area on the 18th green (the 72nd hole) to force a playoff.There were eagles, there were fist pumps, and there were huge roars over the course of those 91 holes Tiger had never played in this much pain before. After hearing that he would need three weeks on crutches and three weeks of rest after he fractured his knee during rehabilitation in May, Tiger told his doctor, “I’m playing in the U.S Open and I’m going to win.”He played He limped He cringed.
