Tiger Woods Trivia | ||||
|
* Woods always wears a red (or, more recently, red-pink) shirt on the final round (usually on Sundays) of every tournament in which he plays, as he believes the color red symbolizes aggression and assertiveness. It is also his mother's favorite color.
* In all of his major victories, he has had the outright lead or a share of the lead after the third round. * Woods also won the Silver Medal as leading amateur at The Open Championship in 1996 before he turned professional. * After his victory in the 2000 PGA Championship, Tiger Woods became only the second player in professional golfing history to hold three majors in the same year at the same time. This matched Ben Hogan's feat in 1953. * With his victory in The Masters in 2001, Woods became the only player ever to hold all four professional majors at once (although this did not occur in a calendar year, and is therefore not considered a true Grand Slam). The achievement has been nicknamed "The Tiger Slam". * Tiger Woods and Lee Trevino have been the only two players to have captured the Triple Crown of Golf (U.S., British, and Canadian Opens in one year.) |
