TIGER Woods’ rollercoaster career has gripped the world for nearly a quarter of a century.
He shot to fame in 1997 when he won the Masters by a massive 12 strokes aged just 21.
Getty 6 Tiger Woods, who is dating Erica Herman, has had a rollercoaster careerHe set 20 new Masters records in the tournament at Augusta despite only being a pro for a year.
In 2000, his unstoppable run of form saw him land the US Open, the PGA Championship and the British Open.
The following year, he won the Masters yet again, becoming the only player to win four consecutive majors, dubbed the “Tiger slam”.
In 2006, he dedicated his victory at the British Open to his father Earl, who had died just a few months before.
But his image was shattered in 2009 after it emerged he repeatedly cheated on his wife Elin Nordegren.
He had crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant after Swedish Elin reportedly chased him out of their house with a golf club.
He then suffered back problems as his career stalled.

Mets to honor Seaver with 41 patch on jerseys this season
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets will honor the late Tom Seaver by wearing a “41” patch on their home and away jerseys this season.
The Mets announced Monday they’ll pay tribute to the Hall of Fame pitcher by putting his number on the right sleeves of their uniforms.
Seaver died Aug. 31 at age 75.
The right-hander is the Mets career leader in wins, ERA and strikeouts. He earned three Cy Young Awards during his 12 seasons with New York and pitched the Mets to their first World Series championship in 1969.
Seaver also played for Cincinnati, the Chicago White Sox and Boston in a 20-year career. Overall, he had 311 wins, a 2.86 ERA and struck out 3,640.
The Mets retired his number in 1988 and he was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1992.
In 2019, the Mets changed the address of Citi Field to 41 Seaver Way. The team plans to unveil a Seaver statue at the ballpark this year.
