“One of the greatest comebacks in sporting history”.

That’s how US journalists reacted to golfer Tiger Woods winning the PGA Tour Championship in Atlanta last weekend.

Having struggled with injury and the fall-out from marital infidelity, Woods hadn’t won for five years.

Many thought he was finished.

This weekend, as the comeback kid joins the US Ryder Cup team in Paris, Mark Coles looks back on Tiger Woods’ life and career.

We hear from former friends and associates, his first ever golf coach as well as the man who taught him to dive.

There’s archive of the young Tiger Woods making his first ever TV appearance age two and his late father, Earl – the man credited with turning his son into one of golf’s greatest ever players.

And ‘the Voice of Golf’ - the veteran BBC commentator and player Peter Alliss gives us his unique take on the man many call the greatest athlete of the early twenty first century.
