Tiger Woods has turned 49 today and in these 49 years, he has established himself as one of the greatest golfers of all time. He has won 82 titles on the PGA Tour, the joint most on the circuit. His wins included fifteen major championships and is only behind Jack Nicklaus.
Tiger's 49th win on the PGA Tour had come at the 2006 Open Championship where he beat Chris DiMarco by two strokes to successfully defend his title. This was his eleventh major championship but was the first one after his father Earl's demise. For the uninitiated, Earl had passed away on May 3 earlier that year.
Following his win at the Royal Liverpool, Tiger Woods hugged his caddie Stevie Williams and couldn't control his emotions. During the post-round interview, he remembered his late father.
