Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods (born December 30, 1975)

 is an American professional golfer

whose achievements to date rank him among the most successful golfers of all time.

Currently the World No. 1, he has been one of the highest-paid athletes in the world

for several years according to Forbes.

  Woods turned professional in 1996,

and by April 1997 he had already won his first major,

the 1997 Masters in a record-breaking performance.

He first reached the number one position in the world rankings in June 1997.

Through the 2000s, Woods was the dominant force in golf,

spending 264 weeks from August 1999 to September 2004

and 281 weeks from June 2005 to October 2010 as world number one.

From December 2009 to early April 2010,

Woods took leave from professional golf to focus on his marriage

after he admitted infidelity.

His multiple infidelities were revealed by several different women,

through many worldwide media sources.

This was followed by a loss of golf form,

and his ranking gradually fell to a low of No. 58 in November 2011.

 He snapped a career-long winless streak of 107 weeks

when he captured the Chevron World Challenge in December 2011.

After winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational on March 25, 2013,

he ascended to the No.1 Ranking once again.

Woods has broken numerous golf records.

He has been world number one for the most consecutive weeks

and for the greatest total number of weeks of any other golfer.

He has been awarded PGA Player of the Year a record ten times,

 the Byron Nelson Award for lowest adjusted scoring average a record eight times,

and has the record of leading the money list in nine different seasons.

 He has won 14 professional major golf championships,

the second highest of any player (Jack Nicklaus leads with 18),

and 78 PGA Tour events, 2nd all time behind Sam Snead.

He has more career major wins and career PGA Tour wins than any other active golfer.

He is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam,

and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments on tour.

Additionally,

Woods is only the second golfer,

after Jack Nicklaus,

to have achieved a career Grand Slam three times.

Woods has won 17 World Golf Championships,

and won at least one of those events in each of the first 11 years after they began in 1999.

Jack William Nicklaus(잭  니클로스)

잭 니클로스

  Jack William Nicklaus( 1940년 1월 21일 ~ )는 미국의 프로 골프 선수이다.

남자 프로 골프 세계 4대 대회를 모두 석권해 골프의 제왕이라고도 불린다.

대한민국에서는 흔히 잭 니클라우스라고도 불리나 니클로스가 정확한 발음이다.

Jack William Nicklaus (born January 21, 1940), nicknamed "The Golden Bear",

 is an American professional golfer.

He is widely regarded as the most accomplished professional golfer of all time,

winning a total of 18 career major championships,

while producing 19 second place and 9 third place finishes in them,

over a span of 25 years.

 Nicklaus focused on the major championships

 (Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, Open Championship, and PGA Championship),

and played a selective schedule of regular PGA Tour events,

yet still finished with 73 victories, third on the all-time list.

After winning two U.S. Amateurs in 1959 and 1961,

and challenging for the 1960 U.S. Open,

Nicklaus turned professional toward the end of 1961.

The 1962 U.S. Open was both Nicklaus' first major championship victory

and his first professional win.

This win over Arnold Palmer began the on-course rivalry between the two.

In 1966, Nicklaus won the Masters Tournament for the second year in a row,

becoming the first golfer to achieve this,

and also won The Open Championship,

completing his career slam of major championships.

At age 26, he became the youngest to do so at the time.

In 1968 and 1969, Nicklaus did not win a major tournament.

He then won another Open Championship in 1970.

Between 1971 and 1980,

he would win a further nine major championships,

overtake Bobby Jones' record of 13 majors,

and become the first player to complete double and triple career slams

of golf's four professional major championships.

At the age of 46,

Nicklaus claimed his 18th and final major championship

at the 1986 Masters Tournament,

becoming that championship's oldest winner.

Nicklaus joined the Senior PGA Tour (now known as the Champions Tour) in January 1990, when he became eligible, and by April 1996 had won 10 of the tour's tournaments,

including eight of that tour's major championships, despite playing a very limited schedule.

He continued to play at least some of the four regular Tour majors until 2005,

when he made his final appearances

at The Open Championship and the Masters Tournament.

Nicklaus has also taken part in various off-course activities,

including golf course design, charity work and book writing.

Nicklaus helped design courses such as Harbour Town Golf Links.

Nicklaus also runs his own tournament on the PGA Tour, the Memorial Tournament.

His golf course design company is one of the largest in the world.

Nicklaus' books vary from instructional to autobiographical,

with his Golf My Way considered one of the best instructional golf books of all time;

the video of the same name is the best selling golf instructional to date.
