#6 When Tiger Woods lost his control

Tiger Woods’ career was put in jeopardy after this incident

This is the incident that paved the way for the downfall of Tiger Woods’ legendary career.

On November 27, 2009, Tiger Woods crashed his SUV outside of his Florida home, igniting a massive scandal that would sideline his golfing career. Woods was already in the eye of the storm after stories about his extramarital affairs were doing the rounds online.

According to media reports, Woods left home in his SUV, and crashed into a fire hydrant, a tree and several hedges. He was treated for minor injuries, and took sole responsibility for the accident, calling it a ‘private matter’. He also credited his wife for helping him out of the situation.

The golf legend also announced that he would not be appearing in any golf tournaments because of his injuries, which would later take a toll on his career and personal life.
