A Look Back at Tiger Woods' Last World Challenge Win

This weekend showcases some of the best golfers in the world at the Hero World Challenge. The tournament is displaying the top 20 players in the world currently with the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, and Keegan Bradley. The proceeds benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation.

Woods, who is in attendance this weekend, won the tournament five times in his career. He founded the tournament in 2000. The years he won were 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2011. He also finished in 2nd place five times over the course of his career. It was a memorable tournament in 2011 the last time he won the event.

2011, marked an off period for Woods who had not won a worldwide tournament since the Australian Masters in 2009. He was trailing Zach Johnson by a stroke before the final two holes began.

Tiger Woods made two straight birdies on holes 17 and 18 to secure the 2011 victory.

On the 17th, the birdie was from 15 feet. On the 18th hole, it was from just six feet but still clutch from Tiger Woods. Johnson missed a birdie on the 18th to give room for Woods to win the Challenge. Johnson would go on to win the tournament himself in 2013.

Said Woods after the 2011 victory: “It feels awesome, whatever it is. I had the lead at the Master's on the back nine and had a chance at the Aussie Open. So, this is my third time with a chance to win; I pulled it off this time.” He shot a 69 in the final round for a total of 278 to secure victory.

Whoever wins the tournament will take home a prize of 1 million dollars. Woods, when he did perform in the tournament typically donated the money to his foundation. He was unable to compete this year due to issues he still has due to his back surgery.

The 15-time major winner has only been able to play in five tournaments this year, missing the cut in four of them. He hopefully will be able to compete in next year's tournament. Tiger Woods currently has stated he's not sure when he will return to play.

There are many players such as Scheffler and Thomas who can draw a crowd. However, they still cannot draw a crowd like Woods himself. The tournament can only hope to have him return next year.
