Phenomenon




Tiger Woods Won Another Major—-How many times have I heard this phrase before on CNN or read about it on Yahoo News! —-I could merely count the ways.



Winning the 89th US PGA Tour Championship is simply phenomenal for him and this would inch him closer to the record held by Jack Nicklaus who had garnered 18 major golfing titles in nearly half a decade of playing professional golf. At age 31, Woods now has 13 major titles tucked under his belt and is fastest among any other player (alive or deceased) in raking in majors and if he continue at this rate, he’d overcome the all-time record in no time at all. He merely needs 5 more major tournament wins and there are four of such each year. At one time he won all four in succession, one after another, and I have a feeling he could do that once again easily in the coming months.



To date, Tiger Woods has more major titles than all top ten golfers in the world combined. In winning this one, he had a tremendously exceptional 9-under par performance on the third round and he is the first player in seven tries to ever make par at the very difficult 18th hole of Southern Hills on the final day. This year, he won five tournaments when no other player had won twice or more.



Just when I thought he was slowing down, Tiger Woods came roaring back with this US PGA Championship win and this only shows how he is a phenomenon through and through.
