Woods Completes the Tiger Slam
Tiger Woods emerged triumphant, snatching his second consecutive PGA Championship and fifth major title at the 82nd PGA Championship. The gripping three-hole playoff against Bob May saw both players reaching an astonishing 18 under par, setting a new PGA Championship record, later matched by Woods in 2006.
This victory etched Woods’ name alongside the legendary Ben Hogan, marking the first time since 1953 that a player conquered three major championships in a calendar year. In April 2001, Woods donned the coveted Master’s green jacket, cementing his unrivaled legacy—the “Tiger Slam.”
