Woods has won 14 professional major golf championships and 71 PGA Tour events. He has more career major wins and career PGA Tour wins than any other active golfer.u00a0

He is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments on tour.

Woods has been called the world's most marketable athlete. Since 1996, he began signing numerous endorsement deals with General Motors, American Express, Accenture and Nike, TAG Heuer and others.
