Tiger Woods has helped 'revitalize' world interest in golf. On Sunday April 8th, 2001 he created history by holding all 4 major championships simultanenously: the US Open, British Open, US PGA, and the Masters. In 1930 the legendary Bobby Jones won what is generally regarded as a golfing Grand Slam, when he won the then 4 majors in the same calendar year: the US and British Open and Amateur titles. Maybe the unique title 'GrandMaster of Golf' describes Tiger Wood's achievements. Moving right along, try your hand at these quizzes on this fine sport and, after you've mastered them, why not craft one of your own!
