Tiger Woods, the world number one, wins most of his tournament and now clinches the crown for greatest putter all time. The golfer made history and will continue to make new record. He is a legendary figure in golf world.

 

 
Playing career: 1996-
According to our voters, consider yourself lucky — for the past 14 Tour seasons you’ve been paying witness to the greatest putter of all time, Tiger Woods. As you sit, you can probably peel off half a dozen highlight-reel putts Tiger has made in his career: The finger-pointing bomb at Valhalla on the first playoff hole against Bob May at the 2000 PGA Championship; the double-fist-pumping birdie on the 72nd hole of the 2008 U.S. Open to force a Monday playoff against Rocco Mediate; the hat-throwing downhill slider to snatch the 2008 Bay Hill Invitational from Bart Bryant; or the original-Tiger-fist-pump-inducing 14-footer on the island green at TPC Sawgrass to finish off his improbable comeback against Trip Kuehne at the 1994 U.S. Amateur.
