In a sudden death, no less, against Rocco Mediate.
The win gives him 14 career major titles, the record is 18, held by Jack Nicklaus.
Also to note, he won this one while playing on a left knee that was recently put under the knife, and has been bothering him for the past couple of days. Pretty impressive.

You mean Jack Nicklaus.......unless you're being sarcastic.
Anyhow yes that was freaking impressive........don't play for 10 weeks, shows up with a painful left knee and still wins. Un-freakin believable.
Hands down the clutchest player ever in sports. It's not even close.

Jack's Majors record is jeopardy. Tiger might tie him by end of next year. I wouldn't put it past him.

As a golfer, he's easily the most inspiring person on the planet to me. Incredible.

He's going to go past Nicklaus. It's just a question of how long more will we wait
