While many experts had written golfing legend Tiger Woods off at 36 years old, the former star proved that there is still plenty of fuel left in the tank.



That’s what a huge, two-stroke win in the Jack Nicklaus-designed Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club can do for a veteran who was thought to have lost his touch.
