[Other Sport] Is Tiger Woods Masters won the greatest sporting story ever?

[Tyrone Biggums]

Lazarus ?

He didn't win anything after his come back.

I prefer Scott McGleish to Tiger Woods.

 

[Nitram]

No, not even close, and I cannot abide his persona.

In golfing terms Jack Nicklaus is the greatest ever golfer. 17 majors 6 of which are Masters. Tigers Ryder cup record is abysmal as well.
Niki Lauda literally minutes from death and is back racing that year and wins another world title has to be the greatest comeback.
Brighton getting thrashed and him winning the Masters has been a shit weekend for me also.

All we need now is a sycophantic interview from the BBC's Gary Richardson, in a word...

NO

Even if it were the Albion getting a shot on target tomorrow will instantly push it down to second place.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

He's a prick.

How about a football club coming back from having nowhere to play and almost dropping to the fifth tier of football, only to find themselves in the top division and the FA cup semi final a mere 20 years later?

On a similar vein I was thinking us in 1996/97

Never has one man done more for a sport than Tiger Woods has for golf.

He did do a lot for a relatively small sport, Tiger took one of the major world sports to new levels and new audiences entertaining and enthralling us all the way.

Please don't get me wrong, I have played golf for more years than I care to remember starting as a boy caddie at the West Sussex golf club. I just don't get the whole Tiger thing. Totally manufactured, false smiles and limp hand shakes etc. His back problems were his own doing, Peter Alliss once mentioned if he keeps winding his back up like a spring he'll need surgery before he's 50. He ignored strong medical advice on many occasions not to play but he did.
If you want great come backs read up on Niki Lauda.

I'm no horse racing fan or expert but Bob Champion winning the 1981 Grand National on Aldaniti whilst recovering from cancer is up there for me as one the greatest ever sporting story. Getting over those fences whilst fully fit is an achievement in itself but to do so in those circumstances, and win the race, is incredible.
