Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods is widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers in history and one of the most famous athletes of all time. Aside from holding a number of golf records, the 45-year-old star ranks second all-time in both men’s major championships and PGA Tour wins. However, the next decade of Woods’ career was filled with controversies and injuries. His personal life made noise after some marital issues with his then-wife, Elin. His extramarital affairs led them to hire a lawyer and get legally separated.

This event greatly affected his status, falling to number 58 in the world rankings. He also had injuries, causing him to undergo four back surgeries. When Woods’ returned, he once again established himself and made progress to the top of the game. To some degree, he has retained his talents and motivation despite what happened. This has not hindered Woods in making history and keeping his name as the “greatest player.”
