Tiger Woods timeline: From near-fatal car crash to Masters comeback
Tiger Woods will make a remarkable comeback at The Masters this afternoon, less than 14 months after a near-fatal car crash that left the 15-time major champion fearing his right leg would be amputated.
Woods confirmed on Tuesday at a press conference that he not only feels physically ready to participate in the year’s first major but that he is confident he could mount a challenge to win the tournament come Sunday afternoon.
Here, we take a look at a career full of remarkable highs and lows:
July 2008: The US Open champion, Torrey Pines. Tiger Woods is standing on the 18th green wearing familiar red, holding his 14th major trophy as the Californian sun begins to fade. His knee has been giving him hell all week and his titanic battle with the golf course, his rivals and his own body has taken a toll, only ending after sudden death against Rocco Mediate. “It’s my greatest ever championship,” declares an exhausted Woods. “It’s the best of the 14 because of all the things that have gone on over the past week.” He skips the rest of the season to get surgery.
