adminWASHINGTON. — Tiger Woods reaches his 40th birthday today, still recovering from a third back operation with no timetable for another golf comeback and reflective comments about ending his epic career.
Former world number one Woods has 14 major titles, four shy of the all-time record set by Jack Nicklaus, and 79 PGA victories, three off the career best held by Sam Snead. But to become lost in the numbers is to miss the point of what Woods has meant to golf, a unique talent who in his moment might just have been the world’s greatest sport star, the first black man to win a major golf crown sparking “Tiger-mania” and generating a curiosity from fans beyond golf long after his greatest days were behind him. — AFP.
