Tiger Woods wins Bob Jones Award

WASHINGTON: Tiger Woods, the 15-time major champion who redefined golf and inspired a generation of talent, was awarded the US Golf Association's highest honor, the Bob Jones Award, on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

The 48-year-old American returned to the PGA Tour last month after ankle surgery last April following the Masters to ease pain following a 2021 car crash, the latest example of perseverance that has helped make him among golf's greatest legends.
