He will be numero uno in the world again.
Greatest comeback in sports history.

He's still got the magic. Huge win for him. Not just because it was #82 but it shows he's not done after the Master's win. I thought for sure that was going to be his last hoorah and he didn't have anything left but the man is competitive as hell and is still hungry. He really seems to be enjoying himself out there again. Something that has been lacking for a long time.

Tiger is great. And I'm sure he will surprise the world again. Just a matter of time.
But..the greatest comeback of the history stays (and probably will stay for long..long time) always Mohammed Ali.
Then, with the obvious differences, as a personal taste, Alex Zanardi.
And, strictly in terms of results, MJ.

Ironic, had a photo shop up in my Facebook feed today of a 6 year old Tiger Woods getting an autograph from Sam Snead in 1982.

As much as I respect Ali, he didn't come back in his 40's after several surgeries and a beating with a golf club from an ex-wife. Ali came back from a political setback based on his religion. Tiger came back from a more detrimental situation as far as physically being able to perform. |

I think I read something not too long ago that said technically Tiger should have the PGA Tour wins record already. Something about some events that he’s won that didn’t count as a “PGA Tour” wins would have counted during Sam Snead’s time or some of Snead’s wins that did count would not have counted in today’s PGA Tour

Tiger came back from a more detrimental situation as far as physically being able to perform. I don't care about the political side of the situation. It matters only marginally, here. And only cause it forced Ali to stop boxing while he was simply the best in the world. His comeback don't needs the politic to be the greatest, cause exactly like Tiger, when he did his comeback, he was considered over. Nobody gave to him an half chance against Foreman. Everybody were sure that the Rumble in the jungle was just a chance for him and Don King to make some money. And (and is this that for me matters the most) to have that chance to win, to be competitive again, he changed completely his style of boxing. And after that win, he dominated the world of boxe for other years. Tiger won the Master..that is obviously a great, absurd achievement, but he clearly suffers to play at high level too near and consecutive tournaments. And he don't dominate anymore, definitely. Is a great comeback and I hope he can win a lot of tournaments more, but for me those three come back are better, in terms of results. At least now. Tiger has the time and the strength to win much more majors and then to make his comeback really epic. And..in any case.. if i should follow your idea and to consider that injuries and personal issues should matter the most to decide the greatest come back, instead than results, then with Zanardi there is simply no match. With no one. (no counting that Zanardi in terms of results too.. is not so bad  ) |

So I think everyone has just settled on 82 . |

Golf is 4 days. Boxing is a hour or so at max. A lot can happen to u in 4 days and conditions change on the course.
Imop why it's the greatest come back if he gets number 1 again is because his injuries , off the field stuff and he has done it against a Field he created. Most of these young guys would not be playing if it wasn't for him. sh%$ golf would be a bunch white out of shape dudes if it wasn't for Tiger.
Obviously it's debatable but that's how I see it.

The fact that Tiger changed the golf is quite obvious. I believe in this fact so much that, for me, also this tour we play here (as for every golf game released in those years) could be easily not existent at all, without him. But I can't understand what importance can ever have what he did BEFORE, if we talk about his comeback. I mean..even if he should be already retired by years, no one could ever deny that he changed this game. There was no need of another Masters or 82 wins, to be already sure about this. And of course is a matter of personal point of views..i agree. I also understand he is your idol, but you can't seriously make a comparison between golf and boxe in terms of physical effort to enforce your opinion, in such a way that it sounds almost as if golf is tougher than boxe in some way..c'mon..you can't be serious Anyway.. my idea is simply that a comeback is more or less epic simply depending by the results an athlete obtains AFTER the comeback. There is no point talking about what he did before. And Tiger did something absolutely incredible after his comeback..but is not the best comeback I ever saw in the whole sport, for me. At least for now. He has talent and time to make it the greatest, but still is not. Simply this, for me. |

I simply believe (and said) that the results obtained by Ali (and MJ) after the comeback are better, for me. And that the greatness of a comeback it can't be judged by what happened before, but after. Otherwise we talk about careers, not comebacks. It can be not agreeable, but I can't see what could create confusion, but well.. |

Was that not the point of your first post in here? Allow me to quote the post, "Tiger is great. And I'm sure he will surprise the world again. Just a matter of time.
But..the greatest comeback of the history stays (and probably will stay for long..long time) always Mohammed Ali."Not that big of a deal to me but I was under the impression you were drawing a line from one to the other and saying Ali's was more impressive. If not, then my bad for misunderstanding. |

He won the tour championship, Masters and his 82nd win when people had him done. Even he said he didn't think he would ever play competitive golf again. I would say that alone is a comeback worth noting.
Golf vs any sport can be debatable. Golf is the only one that I know that last 4 days and beats up the human body just like any sport. Look at Brooks? Of course it's not as physical as other sports but mentally I would say it's the toughest.
Of course if you don't play real golf and or have never broken 80 it's not going to resonate how much work goes into being consistent at golf. Forget talent. It takes total dedication.
Anyway love the debate. No wrong answers here.
BTW he's not my idol per say. I respect his work ethic more than anything.
