Woods won his 50th PGA Tour title Sunday at Warwick Hills..."I've had a lot of wonderful things happen to me in my career so far on tour in 10 years," he said. "It's been a great ride.". He picked up his latest win after his emotional victory in the British Open and before he shoots for his 12th major in two weeks at the PGA Championship.
The ultimate goal for Tiger Woods is to surpass Jack Nicklaus' record for victories in professional majors. The 30-year-old Woods beat Nicklaus' record pace to the milestone, which Nicklaus reached in 1973 at 33.
Above Picture - July 23, 2006 - Weeks after his father's death due to cancer & days after failing to make the cut at a major for the first time in his professional career, Tiger Woods roars back to prime form, winning the British Open for the 2nd straight year and breaks down in front of the whole international audience on TV. And he dedicates his victory to his loving father and wishes he had been there one last time to see it all.
"It's going to be a lifetime, a career, to get to that point and attain something like that," Woods said. "It took me 10 years to get here, hopefully I can continue playing well over the next 10, 20 years."
Woods reached a season-low 24 under and made a career-high 28 birdies in the tournament to hold off Furyk -- who closed with a 64 -- for his fourth win of the year. Woods earned $864,000 to push his tour-leading total to $5,127,563!!!
