Tiger Woods's win earlier this month at the Masters was his first major victory since 2008. By Des Bieler Des Bieler Sports reporter covering national topics, including fantasy football, as well as supporting coverage of D.C.
When Woods last competed in Japan, he lost in a playoff to Padraig Harrington at the 2006 Dunlop Phoenix, in the southern city of Miyazaki. He had won that tournament, played in November, in 2004 and 2005. Now Woods is three major wins away from Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18, and he’s just one win from Sam Snead’s record 82 PGA Tour victories. At this point, Woods will be disappointed if he hasn’t at least tied the latter mark by the time the Tour makes a three-event swing in Asia, as part of a 2019-20 season that will begin in September.
