While expectations for Woods were high, Woods' form faded in the second half of 1997, and in 1998 he only won one PGA Tour event. Woods answered critics of his "slump" and what seemed to be wavering form by maintaining he was undergoing extensive swing changes with his coach, Butch Harmon, and was hoping to do better in the future. Claude "Butch" Harmon Jr (born August 28, 1943) is one of the world's best known Golf instructors [41]
1999-2002: Domination and the Tiger Slam
In June 1999, Woods won the Memorial Tournament, a victory that marked the beginning of one of the greatest sustained periods of dominance in the history of men's golf. The Memorial Tournament is a PGA Tour Golf tournament which is closely associated with Jack Nicklaus. He completed his 1999 campaign by winning his last four starts, including the PGA Championship, and finished the season with eight wins — a feat not achieved in the past 25 years. He was voted PGA Tour Player of the Year and Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for the second time in three years. The PGA Tour is an organization that operates the main professional Golf tours in the United States. The first Athlete of the Year award in the United States was initiated by the Associated Press (AP in 1931.
Woods rang in the new millennium with his fifth consecutive victory and began a record-setting season, where he would win three consecutive majors, nine PGA Tour events, and set or tie 27 Tour records. He went on to capture his sixth consecutive victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am with a comeback for the ages. The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, an event originally known as the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur or just the Crosby Clambake is a PGA Tour Golf tournament Trailing by seven strokes with seven holes to play, Woods finished eagle-birdie-par-birdie for a 64 and a two-stroke victory.

The United States Open Championship, commonly known as the US S.

"[42] In the 2000 Open Championship at St Andrews, which he won by eight strokes, Woods set the record for lowest score to par (−19) in any major tournament, and he holds at least a share of that record in all four major championships. The Open Championship, or simply The Open (often referred to as the British Open outside the UK) is the oldest of the four major championships The Old Course at St Andrews is the oldest Golf course in the world. At 24 he became the youngest golfer to achieve the Career Grand Slam. [43] His major championship streak was seriously threatened at the 2000 PGA Championship, however, when Bob May went head-to-head with Woods on Sunday at Valhalla Golf Club. The PGA Championship (sometimes referred to as the US PGA Championship outside of North America is an annual Golf tournament conducted by the PGA of America Robert Anthony May (born October 6, 1968) is an American professional Golfer May was born in Lynwood California.

Of the twenty events he entered in 2000, he finished in the top three fourteen times. His adjusted scoring average of 67. 79 and his actual scoring average of 68. 17 were the lowest in PGA Tour history, besting his own record of 68. 43 in 1999 and Byron Nelson's average of 68. 33 in 1945, respectively. He was named the 2000 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. [44] Woods was ranked as the twelfth best golfer of all time by Golf Digest magazine just four years after he turned professional. Golf Digest is a monthly Golf Magazine published by Condé Nast Publications in the United States. [45]
The following season, Woods continued dominating. His 2001 Masters win marked the only time within the era of the modern "grand slam" that any player has been the holder of all four major championship titles at the same time, a feat now known as the "Tiger Slam. The Masters Tournament, also known as The Masters or The US Masters (outside of the United States is one of four major championships in men's " It is not viewed as a true Grand Slam, however, because it was not achieved in a calendar year. The Grand Slam in golf is winning all the golf's major championships in the same calendar year Surprisingly, Woods was not a factor in the three remaining majors of the year, but finished with the most PGA Tour wins in the season, with five. In 2002, Woods started off strong, joining Nick Faldo (1989-90) and Jack Nicklaus (1965-66) as the only men to have won back-to-back Masters. Tournament career Faldo was born in Welwyn Garden City, England. The Masters Tournament, also known as The Masters or The US Masters (outside of the United States is one of four major championships in men's Two months later, Woods was the only player under par at the U. S. Open, and resurrected buzz about the calendar Grand Slam, which had eluded him in 2000. All eyes were on Woods at the Open Championship, but his third round score of 81 ended Grand Slam hopes. The Grand Slam in golf is winning all the golf's major championships in the same calendar year At the PGA Woods nearly repeated his 2000 feat of winning three majors in one year but bogeys at the thirteenth and fourteenth holes in the final round cost him the championship by one stroke. Nonetheless, he took home the money title, Vardon Trophy, and Player of the Year honors for the fourth year in a row. The Vardon Trophy is awarded annually by the PGA of America to the PGA Tour 's leader in scoring average
2003-04: Swing adjustments
The next phase of Woods' career saw him remain among the top competitors on the tour, but lose his dominating edge. He did not win a major in 2003 or 2004, falling to second in the PGA Tour money list in 2003 and fourth in 2004. In September 2004, Woods' record streak of 264 consecutive weeks as the world's top-ranked golfer came to an end at the Deutsche Bank Championship, when Vijay Singh won and overtook Woods in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Many commentators were puzzled by Woods' "slump," offering explanations that ranged from Woods' rift with swing coach Butch Harmon to his marriage. Claude "Butch" Harmon Jr (born August 28, 1943) is one of the world's best known Golf instructors At the same time, Woods let it be known that he was again working on changes to his swing, this time in hopes of reducing the wear and tear on his surgically-repaired left knee, which was subjected to severe stress in the 1998–2003 version of his swing. [41][46] Again, Woods anticipated that once the adjustments were complete, he would return to his previous form.
2005-Present: Resurgence
In the 2005 season, Woods quickly returned to his winning ways. He won the Buick Invitational in January and in March he outplayed Phil Mickelson to win the Ford Championship at Doral and temporarily return to the Official World Golf Rankings number one position (Singh displaced him once again two weeks later). The Buick Invitational, is a PGA Tour professional Golf tournament played in the San Diego California area in the early part of the Tour season known Career summary Early years through college Mickelson was born in San Diego California and raised there and in Arizona.

[37] In April Woods finally broke his "drought" in the majors by winning the 2005 Masters in a playoff, which regained him the number one spot in the World Rankings. The 2005 Masters Tournament was the 69th Masters Tournament, played from April 7 to April 10 2005 at Augusta National Golf Club. Singh and Woods swapped the number 1 position several times over the next couple of months, but by early July, Woods had established an advantage, propelled further by a victory at the 2005 Open Championship, a win that gave him his 10th major. Woods went on to win six official money events on the PGA Tour in 2005, topping the money list for the sixth time in his career. Woods' 2005 wins also included two at the World Golf Championships. The World Golf Championships are a group of three annual events for male professional golfers created by the International Federation of PGA Tours, which are official money events
For Woods, the year 2006 was markedly different from 2005. While he began just as dominantly (winning the first two tournaments he entered on the year) and was in the hunt for his fifth Masters championship in April, Woods never mounted a Sunday charge to defend his title, allowing Phil Mickelson to claim the green jacket. Career summary Early years through college Mickelson was born in San Diego California and raised there and in Arizona.
On May 3, 2006, Woods' father/mentor/inspiration, Earl, died after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer. Woods took a nine-week-long hiatus from the PGA Tour to be with his family. When he returned for the 2006 U. S. Open, the rust was evident — he missed the cut at Winged Foot, the first time he had missed the cut at a major as a professional, and ended his record-tying streak of 39 consecutive cuts made at majors. Winged Foot Golf Club is a 36-hole Golf course located in Mamaroneck New York. A tie for second at the Western Open just three weeks later showed him poised to defend his Open crown at Hoylake. The Western Open, a professional Golf tournament was first played in 1899 The Royal Liverpool Golf Club is a leading Golf club in Merseyside in North West England
At the Open Championship, Woods staged a tour de force in course management, putting, and accuracy with irons. The 2006 Open Championship was the 135th Open Championship, played from July 20 to July 23 2006 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. Using almost exclusively long irons off the tee (he hit driver only one time the entire week — the 16th hole of the first round), Woods missed just four fairways all week (hitting the fairway 92 percent of the time), and his score of −18 to par (three eagles, nineteen birdies, 43 pars, and seven bogeys) was just one off of his major championship record −19, set at St Andrews in 2000. The victory was an emotional one for Woods, who dedicated his play to his father's memory. Four weeks later, at the PGA Championship, Woods again won in dominating fashion — making only three bogeys, tying the record for fewest in a major. The 2006 PGA Championship was the 88th PGA Championship, played from August 17 to August 20 2006 at Medinah Country Club Course No He finished the tournament at 18-under-par, equaling the to-par record in the PGA that he shares with Bob May. In August 2006 he won his 50th professional tournament at the Buick Open, and at the age of thirty years and seven months, he became the youngest to do so. The Buick Open is a PGA Tour Golf tournament which is held at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Grand Blanc Michigan. He ended the year by winning six consecutive PGA Tour events, and won the 3 most prestigious awards given by the PGA Tour (Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Byron Nelson Awards) in the same year for a record seventh time. At the close of his first eleven seasons, Woods' 54 wins and 12 major wins had surpassed the all time eleven-season PGA Tour total win record of 51 (set by Byron Nelson) and total majors record of 11 (set by Jack Nicklaus). He was named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for a record-tying fourth time. [47]
Woods and tennis star Roger Federer, who share a major sponsor, have developed a friendship and first met at the 2006 U.S. Open tennis final. Roger Federer (ˈrɒdʒə ˈfɛdərər born August 8 1981 is a Swiss professional Tennis player who is currently ranked World No The US Open Tennis tournament is one of the oldest tennis championships in the world first contested in 1881 Since then, they have attended each other's events and have voiced their mutual appreciation for each other's talents. [48][49][50][51]
Woods began 2007 with a two-stroke victory at the Buick Invitational for his third straight win at the event and his seventh consecutive win on the PGA Tour. The victory marked the fifth time he has won his first tournament of the season. With this win, he became the third man (after Jack Nicklaus and Sam Snead) to win at least five times in three different events on the PGA Tour (his two other events are the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and WGC-CA Championship). Woods earned his second victory of the year at the WGC-CA Championship for his third consecutive and sixth win overall at the event. The WGC-CA Championship is one of the three annual World Golf Championships tournaments for male professional golfers With this victory, he became the first player to have three consecutive victories in five different events. At the 2007 Masters Tournament, Woods was in the final group on the last day of a major for the thirteenth time in his career, but unlike the previous twelve occasions in the final group, he was unable to win. He finished tied for second two strokes behind winner Zach Johnson. Biography The son of a Chiropractor, Johnson was born in Iowa City Iowa and raised in Cedar Rapids, the oldest of Dave & Julie Johnson's three children Woods earned his third victory of the season by two strokes at the Wachovia Championship, the 24th different PGA Tour tournament Woods has won. Wachovia Championship is a PGA Tour Golf tournament The event is held at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte North Carolina in early May He has collected at least three wins in a season nine times in his 12-year career. At the U. S. Open, Woods was in the final group for the fourth consecutive major championship, but began the day two strokes back and finished tied for second once again. His dubious streak of never having come from behind to win on the final day of a major continued.
In search of a record-tying third consecutive Open Championship, Woods fell out of contention with a second-round 75, and never mounted a charge over the weekend. Although his putting was solid (he sank a 90-footer in the first round), his iron play held him back. "I wasn't hitting the ball as close as I needed to all week," Woods said, after he finished tied for twelfth, five strokes off the pace. [52] In early August, Woods won his record 14th World Golf Championships event at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational by 8 strokes for his third consecutive and sixth victory overall at the event. The World Golf Championships are a group of three annual events for male professional golfers created by the International Federation of PGA Tours, which are official money events The WGC-Bridgestone Invitational is one of the annual World Golf Championships for male professional golfers He became the first golfer to win the same event three straight times on two different occasions (1999-2001) and (2005-2007).

Woods finished his 2007 season with a runaway victory at the Tour Championship to capture his fourth title in his last five starts of the year. He became the only two-time winner of the event, and the champion of the inaugural FedEx Cup. The FedEx Cup is a championship trophy for the PGA Tour. It is the first time that men's professional Golf will have playoffs In his 16 starts on Tour in 2007, Woods' adjusted scoring average was 67. 79, matching his own record set in 2000.

The following week, Woods was trailing by four strokes going into the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic, but made six birdies on the back nine for a dramatic one-stroke victory. The Dubai Desert Classic is an annual professional golf tournament which takes place in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It marked his fourth straight official win, and his second win at the event.

Despite bold predictions that Woods might again challenge for the Grand Slam, he would never mount a serious charge at the 2008 Masters, struggling with his putter through each round. The 2008 Masters Tournament was a Golf competition held at Augusta National Golf Club from April 10 to April 13. He would still finish alone in 2nd, three strokes behind the champion, Trevor Immelman.

Playing style
When Woods first joined the professional tour in 1996, his long drives had a large impact on the world of golf . [55][56] However, when he did not upgrade his equipment in the following years (insisting upon the use of True Temper Dynamic Gold steel-shafted clubs and smaller steel clubheads that promoted accuracy over distance),[57] many opponents caught up to him. Phil Mickelson even made a joke in 2003 about Woods' using "inferior equipment" (meaning outdated technology), which did not sit well with either Nike, Titleist or Woods. Career summary Early years through college Mickelson was born in San Diego California and raised there and in Arizona. [58][59] During 2004, Woods finally upgraded his driver technology to a larger clubhead and graphite shaft, which, coupled with his prodigious clubhead speed, made him one of the Tour's lengthier players off the tee once again. The Mineral graphite, as with Diamond and Fullerene, is one of the Allotropes of carbon.
Despite his power advantage, Woods has always focused on developing an excellent all-around game. Although in recent years he has typically been near the bottom of the Tour rankings in driving accuracy, his iron play is generally as accurate as any player ever to play (including Jack Nicklaus), his recovery and bunker play is very strong, and his putting (especially under pressure) is possibly his greatest asset. He is largely responsible for a shift to higher standards of athleticism amongst professional golfers, and is known for putting in more hours of practice than most. [60][61][62]
Early in his professional career, Woods worked almost exclusively with leading swing coach Butch Harmon, with whom he started in 1993,[63] but since March 2004, he has been coached by Hank Haney. Claude "Butch" Harmon Jr (born August 28, 1943) is one of the world's best known Golf instructors Hank Haney (born August 24, 1955) is an American professional Golf instructor best known for coaching Tiger Woods and two time In June 2004, Woods was involved in a media spat with Harmon, who works as a golf broadcaster, when Harmon suggested that he was in "denial" about the problems in his game, but they publicly patched up their differences. [64]
While he is considered one of the most charismatic figures in golf's history, Woods' approach is, at its core, cautious. He aims for consistency. Although he is better than any other Tour player when he is in top form, his dominance comes not from regularly posting extremely low rounds, but instead from avoiding bad rounds. Woods plays fewer tournaments than most professionals (15–21 per year, compared to the typical 25–30), and focuses his efforts on preparing for (and peaking at) the Majors and the most prestigious of the other tournaments. Woods' manner off of the course is cautious as well, as he carries himself in interviews and public appearances with a carefully controlled demeanor reminiscent of the corporate athlete persona developed between Nike and Michael Jordan. Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17 1963 is a retired American professional Basketball player and active businessman [65]

He has a 31-6 record when leading after 36 holes in Tour events, and a 43–3 record when leading after 54 holes. Woods is 13-0 when going into the final round of major with at least a share of the lead, and he has never lost any tournament when leading by more than one shot after 54 holes. He has been heralded as "the greatest closer in history" by multiple golf experts. [67][68][69] He owns the lowest career scoring average and the most career earnings of any player in PGA Tour history.
He has been the PGA Player of the Year a record nine times, the PGA Tour Money Leader a record-tying eight times (with Jack Nicklaus), the Vardon Trophy winner a record seven times, and the recipient of the Byron Nelson Award a record eight times.

Woods's win at the 2005 Open Championship made him only the second golfer (after Nicklaus) to have won all four majors more than once. Woods holds at least a share of the scoring record in relation to par in all four majors, and also holds the margin of victory record in two majors, The Masters and the U. S. Open.
With his victory at the 2006 WGC-American Express Championship, he became the first player in PGA Tour history to win at least eight times in three seasons. The WGC-CA Championship is one of the three annual World Golf Championships tournaments for male professional golfers His victory in the Buick Invitational in January 2007 placed him 2nd for the longest PGA Tour win streak at 7 straight, trailing only Byron Nelson's streak of 11 wins in 1945.

Many consider this to be one of the most remarkable golf accomplishments of all time, given the margin by which he broke the old record (and against stronger fields in terms of depth than those in Nelson's day) and given that during the streak, the next longest streak by any other player was usually only in the 10s or 20s.

Endorsements
Woods has been called the world's most marketable athlete;[81] shortly after his 21st birthday in 1996, Woods began signing numerous endorsement deals with companies including General Motors, Titleist, General Mills, American Express, Accenture and Nike. General Motors Corporation ( GM) ( is a multinational automobile manufacturer founded in 1908 and headquartered in the United States. Titleist is a brand name owned by the Acushnet Company, headquartered in Fairhaven Massachusetts, which produces Golf equipment General Mills ( is a Fortune 500 Corporation, mainly concerned with Food products which is headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota American Express ( sometimes known as " AmEx " or " Amex " is a diversified global Financial services company headquartered in Accenture () is a global Management consulting, Technology services, and Outsourcing company Nike Inc ('naɪki ( is a major publicly traded sportswear and equipment supplier based in the United States. In 2000, Woods signed a 5-year, $105 million contract extension with Nike. It was the largest endorsing deal ever signed by an athlete at that time. [82]
Woods' endorsement has been credited in playing a significant role in taking the Nike Golf brand from a "start-up" golf company earlier in the past decade, to becoming the leading golf apparel company in the world and a major player in the equipment and golf ball market. [81][83] Nike Golf is one of the fastest growing brands in the sport, with an estimated $600 million in sales. [84] Woods has been described as the "ultimate endorser" for Nike Golf,[84] frequently seen wearing Nike gear during tournaments and even in advertisements for other products. [82] Woods receives a cut from the sales of Nike Golf apparel, footwear, golf equipment and golf balls[81] and has a building named after him at Nike’s headquarters campus in Beaverton, Oregon. [85]
In 2002, Woods was involved in every aspect of the launch of Buick's Rendezvous SUV.

" In February, 2004, Buick renewed Woods endorsement contract for another five years, in a deal reportedly worth $40 million. [82]

Honors

Critiques
Cut streak
In both Nelson's and Woods' eras, "making the cut" has been defined as receiving a paycheck. However, in Nelson's day only players who placed in the top 20 in an event won a paycheck whereas in Woods's day only players who reach a low enough score within the first 36 holes win a paycheck. [93] Several golf analysts argue that Woods did not actually surpass Nelson's consecutive cuts mark, reasoning that 31 of the tournaments in which Woods competed were "no-cut" events, meaning all the players in the field were guaranteed to compete throughout the entire event regardless of their scores through 36 holes (and hence all "made the cut," meaning that they all received a paycheck). These analysts argue that this would leave Woods's final consecutive cuts made at 111, and Nelson's at 113. [94]
However, at least ten of the tournaments in which Nelson played did not have modern day cuts; that is, all of the players in these events were guaranteed to compete past 36 holes. The Masters, for example, did not institute a 36 hole cut until 1957 (which was well after Nelson retired), the PGA Championship was match play until 1958 and it is unclear whether or not three other events in which Nelson competed had 36 hole cuts. [95][96] Therefore, these analysts remove "no 36 hole cut" events from both cut streak measures, leaving Nelson's consecutive cuts made at 103 (or possibly less) and Woods's at 111. [97]
However, in the tournaments in which Nelson competed that did not have 36 hole cuts (that is: the Masters, PGA Championship and the possible 3 other tournaments) only the top 20 players received a paycheck even though all players in these events were guaranteed to compete past 36 holes. [93] Hence in these no 36 hole cut events, Nelson still placed in the top 20, so Nelson's 113 cuts made is reflective of his 113 top 20 finishes. Woods achieved a top 20 finish 21 consecutive times (from July 2000 to July 2001) and, in the 31 no-cut events in which he played, he won 10 and finished out of the top 10 only five times. Others, including Woods himself, argue that the two streaks cannot be compared, because the variation of tournament structures in the two eras is too great for any meaningful comparison to be made. [97][94]
Tiger-proofing
Early in Woods' career, a small number of golf experts expressed concern about his impact on the competitiveness of the game and the public appeal of professional golf. Sportswriter Bill Lyon of Knight-Ridder asked in a column, "Isn't Tiger Woods actually bad for golf?" (though Lyon ultimately concluded that he was not). For the unrelated television series see Knight Rider. For other articles see Knight Rider (disambiguation Knight Ridder [98] At first, some pundits feared that Woods would drive the spirit of competition out of the game of golf by making existing courses obsolete and relegating opponents to simply competing for second place each week.
A related effect was measured by economist Jennifer Brown of the University of California, Berkeley who found that other golfers played worse when competing against Woods than when Woods was not in the tournament. The University of California Berkeley (also referred to as Cal, Berkeley and UC Berkeley) is a major research university located in Berkeley The scores of highly skilled (exempt) golfers are nearly one stroke higher when playing against Woods. This effect was larger when Woods was on winning streaks and disappeared during Woods' well-publicized slump in 2003-04. Brown explains the results by noting that competitors of similar skill can hope to win by increasing their level of effort, but that, when facing a "superstar" competitor, extra exertion doesn't significantly raise one's level of winning while increasing risk of injury or exhaustion, leading to reduced effort. [99]
Many courses in the PGA Tour rotation (including Major Championship sites like Augusta National) began to add yardage to their tees in an effort to slow down long hitters like Woods, a strategy that became known as "Tiger-Proofing". Augusta National Golf Club, located in the American city of Augusta Georgia, is one of the most storied and exclusive golf clubs in the world Woods himself welcomed the change as he believes adding yardage to the course does not affect his ability to win. [100]
Ryder Cup performance
Woods' performance in the Ryder Cup playing for the American team has been mediocre throughout the years. The Ryder Cup is a Golf trophy donated by Samuel Ryder, which is awarded Biennially in an event called the "Ryder Cup Matches" between teams from In his first Ryder Cup in 1997, he earned only 1½ points competing in every match and partnering mostly with Mark O'Meara. The 32nd Ryder Cup Matches were held at the Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande, Spain, marking the first time the event was contested in continental Europe Professional wins (31 PGA Tour wins (16 1984 (1 Greater Milwaukee Open 1985 (2 Bing Crosby National Pro-Am Costantino Rocca defeated Woods in his singles match. Career outline In the 1980s Rocca struggled to retain a European Tour card and made several trips to the Qualifying School. In 1999, he earned 2 points over every match with a variety of partners. The 33rd Ryder Cup Matches, also known as the "Battle of Brookline" were held between September 24-26 at The Country Club in Brookline Massachusetts. In 2002, he lost both Friday matches, but, partnered with Davis Love III for both of Saturday's matches, won two points for the Americans and was slated to anchor the Americans for the singles matches, both squads going into Sunday with 8 points. The 34th Ryder Cup Matches were held between 27-29 September 2002 on the Brabazon Course at The Belfry in Wishaw, Warwickshire, England (near Background and family Love was born to Davis M Love Jr and Helen Penta Burgin shortly after his father contended at the 1964 Masters.

Professional wins (13 European Tour wins (4 1993 Bell's Scottish Open 1995 Volvo Scandinavian Masters In 2004, he was paired with Phil Mickelson on Friday but lost both matches, and only earned one point on Saturday. The 35th Ryder Cup Matches were held September 17–19 at the Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Township Michigan. With the Americans facing a 5-11 deficit, he won the first singles match, but the team was not able to rally. In 2006, he was paired with Jim Furyk for all of the pairs matches, but they only won one point. The 36th Ryder Cup Matches were held 22–24 September 2006 at The K Club, Straffan, Co Biography Furyk was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania. His early years were spent in the Pittsburgh suburbs learning the game from his father who Woods won his singles match, one of only three Americans to do so that day. Woods is 3-1-1 in singles matches but has a much worse record in the team matches, which has led critics to question his partnership abilities. As a point of comparison, in the Presidents Cup, Woods is 3-2 in singles matches and 10-10 in partnership matches, and so a trend is not as clear. The Presidents Cup is a series of men's Golf matches between a United States team and an International Team representing the rest of the world less Europe
