Tiger Woods inspired a generation of young golfers and for the first time in over a decade, he's back on top. (adam_stanley)
Woods is on top of the golfing world again, and it’s not just those inspired by him as a youngster who are excited, it’s his fellow competitors too.
Hughes, who was just six years old when Woods won his first major, said he’s since watched the 1997 tournament countless times. The meaning of that win, and this win now, he said, are “massive” for the game. “I think the unique thing is how hard Tiger must have worked to getting back to his high level. He must have been a machine these past couple of years,” said Wai. “He would have had to build his core back up from scratch after surgery. But also needed to build up the endurance for four 18-hole rounds.”But he did, and arguably the biggest comeback in sports is complete.
