Tiger Woods’ breakthrough in golf all the way back in 1996, not only shook the golf world but also sports around the world. In fact, his authority and dominance were at a level so unparalleled that a name was given to this fantastic feat; the ‘Tiger Effect’ or the ‘Superstar Effect’.

After a decade of a flourishing run, injuries, surgeries, and scandals plagued his career, his craze with the public didn’t die down and golf had successfully made its way into many homes.

However, this year Woods has been confined to rest as he met with a solo-car crash in February. Finally, he made a comeback to competitive golf at the 2021 PNC Championship where he competed with his son Charlie, social media’s latest hero. His fans went berserk as this edition broke several records in terms of viewing and ratings.
