Golf news round-up in pictures: Tiger Woods
From Tiger Woods' final-hole win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational to the latest news about Seve Ballesteros' health here's a round-up of all the golf news that has happened this week. Plus Golf Monthly's May issue hits the shelves and our US Masters 2009 site launches ahead of this year's first major in Augusta.
With a birdie at the final hole, Tiger Woods confirmed his return to the pinnacle of the game. As the 15-foot putt dropped, Tiger celebrated a one-shot victory over Sean O’Hair in the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard last week.
It was Woods’ first victory since returning from knee surgery but it’s his sixth title at Bay Hill. With the win, he re-secured his position at the top of the Official World Golf Ranking and has leapt from 110th to 12th place on the FedEx Cup standings.
It was Woods’ 66th career PGA Tour victory and kept up his record of having won a tournament in the three months leading up to the US Masters in all but one year of his professional career.
