Should his career be as successful
But the British Open has been accepting a cast from around the world since the turn of the century.It is not known for certain when golf came to America — only that when it got a toehold in the 20th century, America became the world leader in great players. By 1900, the explosion of the game in America was complete. Proof was that, at the turn of the century, there were more golf clubs in the United States than there were in Britain.Tiger Woods came upon the scene in 1996. He won eight times in 1999, nine times in 2000, Atlanta Golf Course and won the four major championships in succession in 2000-2001, starting with the U.S. Open in 2000. Should his career be as successful in his 30s and 40s as it has been in his 20s, he will assume the mantle of “best player ever.”Women have played a very large part in the history of golf, even before the last half of the 20th century when they finally achieved equality with men.
