Introduction

Some players are better than others, but Tiger seemed to be better than everyone. Eldrick (Tiger) Woods is a golfer who started professional golf back in 1996 and has won multiple tournaments on the PGA tour that include many great achievements and an amazing comeback year in 2019. He proved himself in ways no one had before and eventually was considered the greatest golfer in the world. Today, despite Tiger's long winning drought, he is now said to be the greatest golfer of all time by many.

In Tiger's early golf career before the PGA tour he was very dominant. The main dominance started in the 1994 U.S. Amateur Championship. Going into the back nine Tiger was 3 shots down. He started finding his birdies and eventually took the lead. On the 18th Tiger hit it right at the par 3 pin and then proceeded to sink a 14 foot putt to claim his victory. This victory made him the youngest golfer and first black  golfer to win the U.S. Amateur Championship. The next two years Tiger won the U.S. Amateur Championship again making him the only golfer to win the U.S. Amateur Championship 3 times in a row.
