Tiger Woods's list of achievements is extraordinary. He has won 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, and his 82 PGA Tour wins tie Sam Snead for the all-time record. He is the only player to hold all four major titles at the same time, a feat called the Tiger Slam. His 2000 U.S. Open win by 15 strokes remains the largest victory margin in major history. He has been world number one for a combined 545 weeks, the longest of any golfer. Woods was named AP Athlete of the Decade for the 2000s and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019. His induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2021 was a fitting honor for a career that redefined the sport.
