The PGA Tour action now shifts to Pebble Beach for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Undoubtedly, when we talk about this event, we have to talk about Tiger Woods’ performance here in 2000. He made one of the most incredible comebacks to lift the trophy that week. 

Woods was seven strokes behind with seven holes to play. Despite that, he overcame the deficit and won the event by two strokes. Two decades later, many might have forgotten this gem of a performance from Tiger. So, as the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is about to begin, let us take a look back at Tiger Woods’ performance from this event in 2000.

He then most famously holed out an eagle from 97 yards on par-4, 15th hole. Furthermore, Woods almost repeated the heroics on the next hole but narrowly missed it. However, he still managed to get a birdie and reduce the deficit. Eventually, with a birdie on the final hole, Tiger finished with a score of -15 and had a lead of two strokes. 

Taking a two-shot lead and eventually winning the event when you are seven behind the lead with seven holes to play is something that no other golfer can even imagine. Surely, this is what makes this victory of Tiger Woods special for everyone.

Moreover, there are some other factors that make it even special as well; this being his sixth straight victory on the Tour was one of them. Not to mention, he became the first golfer since Ben Hogan to achieve that feat. Hence, when one is conversing about the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, it is impossible to not remember this performance from Tiger Woods.
