July 23 was a fantastic day for Tiger Woods. In 2000, he won the Open Championship at St Andrews by eight shots. The American, who a few months earlier had won the US Open by the biggest margin in major championship history, became only the fifth player to complete a career grand slam of major titles after his triumph at the home of golf.
Then in 2006, Woods won the Open Championship at Hoylake, just 11 weeks after the death of his father.
