His skill in golf never slowed down and he turned pro at the young age of 20 and became the youngest player in history to win a Masters Tournament at 21. Woods was being showered in endorsement deals and had more fame than he could ever imagine. Unfortunately, the fame was not all left on the course, in 2009 Woods was part of a nation-wide infidelity scandal which also took a toll on his playing career. Many were saying Woods was done as he had failed to win any major tournaments until 2019. In 2019 Woods put on an impressive show at the Masters Tournament and eventually won his first green jacket in 14 years. Is Woods back? Only time will tell...
