SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – AUGUST 07: Tiger Woods of the United States looks over a putt on the sixth green during the second round of the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park on August 07, 2020 in San Francisco, California. Tom Pennington/Getty Images/AFPSevere leg injuries in a February car crash ensured Tiger Woods won’t be playing in this year’s Masters on the 20th anniversary of his “Tiger Slam” victory at Augusta National.
Hours of surgery were required to repair his shattered lower right leg and ankle, including a rod inserted into his tibia and the use of screws and pins to stabilize the joint.The vehicle driven by golfer Tiger Woods lies on its side in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on February 23, 2021, after a rollover accident. Woods, who won his most recent major at the 2019 Masters, became the first black golfer to win a major title when he captured the 1997 Masters in record fashion.
“It’s ironic that he did it in ’75, I was born in ’75, and when I won in ’97, he was on the back of the green.” Woods completed a fairytale comeback from multiple back operations to win the 2019 Masters, an emotional victory that saw him hug his children the way he did he late father after his 1997 triumph.But his most amazing golf feat was likely the “Tiger Slam” when he won the 2000 US and British Opens and PGA Championship and then added the 2001 Masters to capture four major trophies in a row.
