Woods' woes mean no silver jubilee but 25 years on, the Tiger Slam stands alone

Woods’ achievement like his talent was so singular it required a term all of its and his own: the Tiger Slam.

No other sports event does pomp and ceremony quite like the US Masters but if Augusta was to borrow a certain tradition from the GAA’s biggest day then this coming weekend it would be marking the silver jubilee of probably the greatest achievement in the sport’s history.

Twenty-five years ago Tiger Woods not only slipped into the second green jacket of his career; he won a fourth consecutive major championship.
