Following Tiger Woods' early September statement regarding a return to golf, those around the game spoke of the 14-time major winner in present and future tones. Are the reports of Tiger flushing it in practice true? Can his body withstand the rigors of competitive golf? Can he be a formidable player again? Alas, that dialogue was quickly extinguished on Monday, as Woods reneged on his commitment to the Safeway Open. As his sabbatical continues -- painting a horizon without a dawn -- the narrative has shifted to the 40 year old's past.
In light of this Napa fake out and subsequent setback, Golf Digest recalls the biggest moments of Tiger Woods' career. From his dazzling debut to the Tiger Slam, along with injury and off-the-course woes, watch the video above to relive the roller coaster ride.
