"Nick Price played the opening two rounds with Woods at St Andrews in the 2000 British Open and felt the tournament already was over. Mark O'Meara played a practice round with him at Pebble Beach before the 2000 US Open and told his wife before the championship started, Tiger is going to win. And not only is he going to win, he's going to blow away the field. Woods won by 15."
"For all those years, so many greats in the game could never relate to Woods. And now, finally, they can. Not even Woods can beat time. He turns 50 on Tuesday. It's a milestone for anyone, but it's different in golf because the sport can be played well after the age when athletes have long retired in other sports. Phil Mickelson won a major at 50. Jack Nicklaus made an early Sunday charge at the Masters when he was 58."
Tiger Woods dominated golf with shots that left competitors awed. He turns 50 and becomes eligible for the PGA Tour Champions. Major comeback victories include a U.S. Open win days before reconstructive knee surgery and a Masters title after lower-back fusion. Woods has undergone more surgeries than his 15 major titles, including a ruptured Achilles tendon in March and a seventh back surgery in September. He did not play any tournaments this year and has not returned to his pre-2021 form since the Los Angeles car crash. The competitive future is uncertain despite occasional plans to split time between tours.
