Injuries, infidelities, and poor choices: How Tiger Woods unraveled from the greatest golfer in the world

Tiger Woods is once again back in the headlines for something other than playing golf, as he was arrested and charged with DUI at 3 a.m. on Monday morning.

This is just the latest ugly chapter in what was once one of the greatest careers in the history of sports. It is a career that has spiraled out of control thanks to injuries, infidelities, a car wreck, and some poor decisions with his golf game.

Below we take a look back at where everything went wrong for Tiger Woods.

Things started to go downhill for Woods in 2008, a year before his famous car accident. That year, Woods won the U.S. Open, what would turn out to be his final major championship to date.



However, he played that tournament with stress fractures in his tibia and his knee, injuries that occurred because he rushed back from a knee surgery earlier in the season. Woods would need another surgery after the US Open, his fourth on his left knee, and would miss the Open Championship and the PGA Championship.



Woods' former coach Hank Haney would later claim that Woods originally injured his knee while training with the Navy SEALs in 2007. Woods had previously claimed to have injured his knee while jogging.
