Tiger Woods Wins Major Title after 11years

Tiger Woods won the Masters Tournament on April 14, 2019 for the fifth time, in Augusta, Georgia, U.S. This was his first major championship win since the 2008 U.S. Open, and his 15th major overall. The Masters win brought him three short of Jack Nicklaus’ record tally of 18 wins and one title away from Sam Snead's record of 82 PGA Tour victories.


NBA Legend, Michael Jordan, who is a long time fan and also a friend of Woods said Woods' win is the greatest comeback of a lifetime.  David Aldridge of The Athletic provided comments from Jordan




"I took two years off to play baseball, but nothing like that," MJ said. "I'm pretty sure he questioned himself, whether he could get it back, and he had to put a lot of work in. But he took it head-on. He had to change his game; he had to change his perspective a little bit. To me, it was the greatest comeback I've ever seen."




The 43year old fan favorite has faced so many trials in the past from his personal life scandal that led to the end of his marriage with Elin Nordegren, his professional downfall that made him have four back surgeries and a major doubt in his overall performances years after, Jordan continued:




"There were so many people that were doubting him. You can think about the physical. But he overcame a lot of mental things, too. Not just the physical aspects, but all the scandals, too. I was watching TV and they were congratulating him, but the first thing they bring up is the negative aspect. That's what he had to deal with. Granted, we all make mistakes. But for him to come back and be able to win again, it's far tougher than anything I think anybody's had to deal with."




Congratulations Tiger Woods!
