Welcome to Episode 4 and the first of our Player Profiles series where we zoom in on stars of the game past and present. This week we are going Tiger hunting as we profile possibly the greatest golfer who has ever lived, Tiger Woods.

We cover his childhood and early career to his biggest wins and craziest stats. We also talk about his comeback win at the Masters in 2019 and whether we might see Tiger win again.
