Why Tiger Woods’ Miraculous Return Matters From Rock Bottom to Masters Champion

Toph Shares How a Recent Golf Success Story Can Help Clients In 1997, Tiger Woods was poised to take the golf world by storm after winning his first Masters Tournament by 12 strokes in his second year as a professional golfer. The next decade would cement Woods’legacy, as he went on to win 13 major championships and remained one of the world’s top golfers.

By that point, no trained analyst, golf fanatic, or statistician could have guessed that Woods would eventually spiral.

By 2010, Woods stepped away from golf to focus on a series of personal dilemmas, including the separation and eventual divorce from his ex-wife. Between 2014 and 2017, Woods underwent three back surgeries, and from late summer 2015 to early 2018, Woods only competed in one tournament. This pushed him out of the world’s rankings, and suddenly, the man who was once synonymous with golf seemed to have surpassed his peak. This is the backstory that made the 2019 Masters Tournament all the more exciting. Seven months after winning his first tournament in five years, Woods won his 15th major tournament and received his Masters Tournament green jacket in April 2019. Hailed a spectacular feat, Woods has gone on record saying the win is still surreal for him, as analysts revamp the debate of Woods’ability to tie or beat Jack Nicklaus’record 18 major-tournament titles.

A Financial Hole-in-One

Much like TigerWoods, we all face periods of downturn and failure. It can be distressing and overwhelming to claw your way back to success, especially when you face financial debt and back-taxing issues. You deserve every opportunity for growth, and a few missteps or misunderstandings with the IRS shouldn’t keep you from achieving that. ForWoods, coming back after nearly a decade in the slumps wasn’t based on pure talent. He was surrounded by support, great doctors, and a drive to push forward. When you’re facing the IRS or debt collectors, you also need the support of an expert. Let an experienced CPA for the Self-Employed® help you find relief from the debt that is plaguing you and your business, and gain back the confidence to keepmoving forward.
