NLU Podcast, Episode 301: Tiger Woods in Majors, Part I

April 13, 2020 01:00 - 1 hour - 127 MB

In Part I of our deep dive, we go through Tiger's major championship history from his amateur days, to the triumph at Augusta in '97, the Tiger Slam, and into 2001. We put each win into perspective, and touch on his close and not so close calls in between. We also highlight some often forgotten moments of these majors, the "contenders," the great media quotes, and a ton more. This episode went way longer than we anticipated, so it's divided up over two parts. Stay tuned for Part II coming Tue...
