Tiger Woods is without doubt one of the most famous golfers of all time. He has recorded more victories than any current golfer on the PGA tour and is on track to have a career equal to the legendary Jack Nicklaus.
Despite the 14 Major victories for Woods in his career, not everything has been peaches and cream for Woods at the British Open, one of the major tournaments.
He’ll be looking to change that when the 2010 British Open starts July 15 at the famed St. Andrew’s old course in Scotland.
There is no doubt that Tiger has been great at the British Open in the past. Tiger has won the tournament three times in his career, including an impressive stretch with the opening of the new millennium with all three of those victories from 2000-2006. This includes back-to-back victories in 2005 and 2006.
Tiger Woods has not missed many cuts over the course of his career. Before the year 2009 Tiger had not missed a cut for about 3 years. The previous cut he missed was an awful showing at the U.S. Open where he was 12 over. From that point on he went on a torrid streak where he did not miss another cut until the British Open in 2009. This marked just the 5th cut that he had missed in his career to that point and only the 2nd cut that he had missed in a major tournament.
Tiger has seen the good and the bad at the British Open. As the British Open approaches it will be interesting to see what side of Tiger we will see show up.
