While in 2000 Woods won his first U.S. Open and his first Open Championship.
He won two more U.S. Opens in 2002 and 2008 – with the latter being his final major.
And he also won another two Open Championships in the space of two years in 2005 and 2006.
Woods also boasts four PGA Championships in 1999, 2000, 2006, 2007.
That puts him four majors behind the great Jack Nicklaus, who won 18 in his career.

After his divorce, he was linked to fitness model Laci Kay Somers and dated US alpine skier Lindsay Vonn.
