Tiger Woods’ 5 greatest major championship victories

John Rahm picked up the tenth PGA Tour win of his career, winning the Genesis Invitational by two shots, finishing on 17 under par.

The story going into the tournament was the return of golf's GOAT, Tiger Woods who returned to a PGA Tour tournament for the first time since July 2022.

Woods finished the Genesis Invitational tied in 45^th place, ending on one under par across the four rounds of golf.

Woods told CBS, "Each and every year from here going forward is playing all the majors. I am not going to play much more than that."

After the announcement he will only play in major tournaments, let's reflect on Woods' greatest performance at major tournaments throughout the years.

Only four players had won all four of golf's major championships until Tiger Woods made it five, winning the 2000 Open Championship.

Woods beat Ernie Els and Thomas Bjorn by eight shots at the St Andrews Old Course in Scotland, becoming the youngest player in Golf history (24 years old) to win the career Grand Slam, beating Jack Nicklaus by around two years.

A wind-stricken US Open in 2000 was not enough to blow Tiger Woods off track, winning in arguably the most dominant fashion the golfing world has ever seen.

Woods shot 65, 69, 71, and 67 in his four rounds of golf at a turbulent Pebble Beach, winning by a show-stopping 15 shots, becoming one of the best displays in history.

The 1997 Masters is remembered as the time Tiger Woods became a force to be reckoned with amongst golf's elite players at just 21 years old.

As a player in his early twenties, Woods was head and shoulders above the rest of his peers, shooting six and seven under par on Friday and Saturday, putting him in cruise control going into the final round Sunday.

Tiger never took his foot off the gas, shooting 18 under par which was the lowest score ever at the Masters, and beating Tom Kite by 12 shots, becoming the biggest win in major history until he broke it himself in the 2000 US Open.

A player has never been able to obtain golf's most prestigious award, winning all four majors in the same year (The Grand Slam).

Woods has never held it in a traditional sense either. However, after winning the Masters in 2001, for the first time in history, Tiger held all four majors, calling it the 'Tiger Slam.'

It may not have been his most dominant display, beating David Duval by a pair of shots on the final day, but Woods' achievement of holding all four majors at the same time is one of the sport's hardest and greatest accolades of all time.

After numerous surgeries, injuries, and personal life scandals, no one ever thought Tiger Woods would pick up a golf club again, never mind go on and winning another major.

At the 2019 Masters, Tiger Woods proved everyone wrong, winning his first major since the 2008 US Open, ending a ten-year drought and putting him back at the top of the golfing world.

For the first time in his career, Woods came from behind on the final day, beating Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Xander Schauffele by one shot to pick up his 15^th major victory.
