Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods is an American professional golfer, and what he has achieved can rank him among the most successful golf players of all time. Formerly he has been the world No.1 and the highest paid professional athlete in the world, earning an estimated $90.5 million from the whole winnings and endorsements last year.
Having won fourteen professional major golf championships , Woods is now the second highest of any male players. And in the 71PGA Tour events, he has always ranked third all time. More amazingly, Woods is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments on tour. What's more, as a golfer, he is only the second after Jack Nicklaus, to have achieved a career Grand Slam three times. In total, 16 World Golf Championships have been got easily by Woods.
Woods has held as the number one position in the world rankings for the most consecutive weeks and for the greatest total number of weeks. He has been awarded PGA Player of the Year a record ten times.
But, recently the strong Tiger has been trapped.
In totally 18 months, Tiger Woods has not won a US PGA event and unfortunately has slid from world No. 1 to fifth in the rankings. But with a relief, the former world No 1 Lee Westwood warns not to count him out.
Since the scandle happened in late 2009, Woods has not won any event worldwide. Though Woods has enjoyed fourteen major titles, four of which are the records set by Jack Nicklaus. And
back to 2009, facing the firestorm of media reports that he had engaged in extramarital affairs with several women, Woods went a step further than a statement he issued on Dec. 2, 2009, when he owned up to "transgressions." At that time, the American golfer, was like a magnet for sports sponsorships and endorsements. And since Woods' involvement in a minor car accident outside his Florida home before dawn on Nov.27,2009, the golf had been the focus of intense media attention. Though we've already known that facial cuts and bruises Woods had suffered in the accident, but we heard some other words in totally different tone that Woods had been hurt by his angry wife and one lover while the two women were quarreling with each other on some affairs.
Now Woods is far away the top draw on the PGA tour and in major tournaments and the unofficial title of best golfer ever. But he is in the hurry chase of Jack Nicklaus record for new achievements.
And with a relief, Woods has won 71 US PGA events, third on the all-time list after Sam Snead's 82 and the 73 of Nicklaus. But the golf's grandest target---the 18 majors of Nicklaus---remains the quest most linked with Woods.
Though the situation has not taken a favorable turn, the charming golf has always caught our hearts. And here is a kind of smart golf---ping i15, he's a kinda popular variety which can increase the chances to get the victory. The fade-biased design of the PING i15 Driver meets the needs of golfers who place a high priority on working their tee shots. The traditional pear -shaped 460cc titanium head is engineered with a bulge crown design and deeper face to optimize energy transfer for greater ball speed and the solid feel preferred by better golfers. Internal weighting reduces spin and the hosel is positioned slightly back from the face to help promote tour-preferred trajectories and control. Its titanium carbon finish provides a sleek and optically pleasing appearance.
So you should not let this good fortune go, hurry up and grasp the chance, it will give you extraordinary surprise.
