Tiger Woods has won 15 majors, including the Masters, PGA Championship, and US Open
Tiger Woods is one of the greatest golfers of all time and is known for his numerous golf records. He has won 15 majors, including the Masters, PGA Championship, and US Open.
Woods' first major win was the 1997 Masters, which he won by 12 strokes in a record-breaking performance. He became the youngest Masters champion ever, at the age of 21 years, three months and 14 days, and was the first major championship winner of African or Asian heritage. In 2000, Woods won three professional majors in the same year, and became the first player since 1936-37 to win the PGA Championship in consecutive years.
In 2001, Woods won his second Masters title, becoming the first golfer ever to hold all four professional major championships at the same time. This feat, known as the "Tiger Slam", included his wins at the 2000 US Open, and the 2001 PGA Championship and Open Championship. Woods' victory at the 2001 Masters also marked the second time he had won four consecutive major professional golf titles, following his "Tiger Slam" in 2000-2001.
Woods' impressive run continued in 2005 and 2006, when he became the only player to win multiple professional majors in consecutive years. He won the Open Championship in 2005 and 2006, making him only the second golfer after Jack Nicklaus to have won all four majors more than once. In 2008, Woods won his 14th major at the US Open, his last event before season-ending knee surgery.
After a long drought, Woods won his 15th major at the 2019 Masters, at the age of 43. This win was particularly remarkable as many had written him off, and only Jack Nicklaus was older when he won his final Masters at age 46.
