The Scandal That Changed Everything
In 2009, Tiger Woods’ personal and professional life unraveled in a public scandal that redefined his legacy. A minor car accident outside his Florida home ignited a media frenzy, exposing allegations of infidelity involving multiple women. The fallout was swift and severe. Woods lost his marriage, most of his sponsorships, and his status as the world’s number one golfer.
“He lost everything,” a source close to Woods told PEOPLE. “And it was really rough for a really long time. He’s been left with a lot of scars.” By 2017, Woods had fallen to #1,199 in the golf rankings, marking a low point in both his career and personal life.
