Tiger Woods's legendary golf career in jeopardy after car crash forces surgery

Firstpost  

The amazing golf career of Tiger Woods, from two-year-old prodigy to his epic comeback 2019 Masters victory, was in jeopardy Tuesday after injuries suffered in a serious solo car crash. In the 1990s, Woods put himself alongside pal and NBA star Michael Jordan as two of the world’s most iconic sports stars and richest endorsement pitchmen, his fame going beyond golf lovers or sports fans. The child prodigy was a three-time US Amateur winner before turning pro in 1996 with endorsement deals and a message: “Hello world.” Woods won the Las Vegas Invitational in October 1996 to secure his place on the PGA Tour and six months later delivered a 12-stroke victory for the ages at 21 at Augusta National for a green jacket and the start of “Tiger-mania” interest that overwhelmed anything golf had ever seen. In last year’s majors, Woods was 37th at the PGA Championship, missed the cut at US Open and shared 38th at the Masters last November in his most recent tour outing.
