More facts about the Tiger Slam
- The Masters win didn’t come easy. Tiger made bogey at the 1st in the final round and after David Duval birdied 10 he joined Tiger in the lead. Come the last hole Tiger needed par to win. He birdied in true Tiger fashion.
- All four courses in the Tiger Slam were indisputably great tests of golf; Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, Valhalla, and Augusta.
- There has been another golfer to hold all four majors at the one time – Bobby Jones in 1930. But that was a different era – and a different Slam - as he held the British Open and British Amateur, the US Open and the US Amateur.
- This is the Leaderboard at the end of play in 2001 The Masters.
- Watch Tiger play the last round of his Tiger Slam at Augusta below. If you don’t have two and a half hours to spare you can watch him play the 18th: go to 2 hours, 22 minutes in the video.
