Tiger Woods is a professional golfer who holds a ton of records in the industry. At 43 years of age, he ranks as one of the greatest golfers of all time. Woods also stands as a renowned athlete. He started golfing at an early age and continued through his junior and college years. Tiger later turned professional in 1996. At the time, he was only twenty. Barely a year after entry into the professional world, he bagged three wins and broke a record in the 1997 Masters. The same year, he reached position one in the global rankings.
