[h=2]PIERS MORGAN: From porn star scandals, DUI shame and agonising sports oblivion - to champion again. Tiger Woods just showed the world’s self-pitying snowflakes what it takes to tackle life’s curveballs[/h]
NEW Ten months ago, Tiger Woods was ranked No 1,199 in golf’s world rankings. His private life was as disastrous as his career. Nobody gave him a chance of ever being a champion again. He was over, done, kaput. Only, Tiger didn’t get the memo Instead, he battled on, to the amused scorn of many. It made no sense to anyone but him. Then yesterday, gloriously, he won again - five years after his last professional victory, 17 months after his last (successful) spine fusion surgery and 16 months after his mug shot was paraded across the world’s newspaper front pages following his DUI arrest.
