The fall and rise of Tiger Woods as he matches Snead record
Tiger Woods is winning golf tournaments and getting his name in the record books again, after the most turbulent years of his career.
Tiger Woods made more history on Monday when he matched the great Sam Snead's record haul of 82 PGA Tour victories.
When Woods rolled in the winning putt at the Masters in April it was like reliving a bygone era, given it had been 11 years since the American's last major triumph.
There was considerable doubt whether Woods would ever challenge at the highest level again, as he sought to overcome career-threatening back injuries and a slump in form.
But he has shown he still has the game to land big titles, and by triumphing at the Zozo Championship in Japan, which drew a star-studded field, Woods moved level with Snead.
Here, we take a look at the timeline of Woods' dramatic, albeit largely injury-affected, fall and rise to becoming a major champion again.
