Currently the wOrlD no.1, he was the highest-paid professional athlete in 2008, having earned an estimated $110 million from winnings and endorsements.
Woods has won 14 professional mAjoR gOLf TOuRNamEnt, the second highest of any male player, and 71 PGA Tour events, third all time.He has more career major wins and career PGA Tour wins than any other active golfer. He is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments on tour. Additionally, Woods is only the second golfer, after Jack Nicklaus, to have achieved a career Grand Slam three times. Woods has won 16 World Golf Championships, and has won at least one of those events each of the 11 years they have been in existence.
Woods has held the number one position in the world rankings for the most consecutive weeks and for the greatest total number of weeks. He has been awarded PgA pLAyER oF thE yEAr a record ten times,the Byron Nelson Award for lowest adjusted scoring average a record eight times, and has the record of leading the money list in nine different seasons.
On December 11, 2009, Woods announced he would take an indefinite leave from professional golf to focus on his marriage after he admitted infidelity. His multiple infidelities were revealed by over a dozen mistresses, through many worldwide media sources. On March 16, 2010, he announced that he will be playing in the 2010 Masters.
Called "one of the most anticipated returns in sports" by the Associated Press, Woods' first PGA Tour event after an eight month layoff came at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. He lost to Tim Clark in the second round. His first stroke play event was the WGC-CA Championship at Doral where he finished 9th (-11). Woods won his first title of the year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he was five strokes behind Sean O'Hair entering the final round. Woods shot a final round 67 and made a 16-foot birdie putt at the final hole to defeat O'Hair by one stroke. Afterwards, he would continue to perform consistently. At tHE mASteRS, he finished sixth, four strokes behind eventual winner Ángel Cabrera. Then, despite having the 18-hole lead at the Quail Hollow Championship, he finished two strokes behind Sean O'Hair. At The Players Championship, he played in the final grouping on Sunday, but finished eighth.
Woods won his second event of 2009 at the Memorial Tournament. He trailed by four shots after three rounds but shot a final round 65, which included two consecutive birdies to end the tournament. The win was Woods' fourth at the event. Woods won his third event of the 2009 season on July 5 at the AT&T National, an event hosted by Woods himself.However, for the third time going into a 2009 major, Woods failed to capitalize on his preceding win. Instead, at the 2009 Open Championship, he missed the cut for only the second time in a major championship since turning professional.
On August 2, Woods captured the Buick Open for his fourth win of the season, a three-shot victory over three other players. After firing an opening-round 71 that put him in 95th place and outside of the cutline, Woods responded with a second-round 63, nine-under par, that vaulted him into contention. A third-round 65 put him atop the leaderboard and he coasted to victory with a final-round 69 for a 20-under 268 four-round total. This was the biggest turnaround pro victory to date.
Woods won his 70th career event the following week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. He went head-to-head against Pádraig Harrington on Sunday until the 16th, where Harrington made a triple bogey 8 on the par 5 and Woods made birdie. Tiger went on to win the event by 4 strokes over Harrington and Robert Allenby.
At the 2009 PGA Championship, Woods shot a 5-under 67 to take the lead after the first round. He remained leader or co-leader through the second and third rounds. Going into the final round, Woods had a 2 stroke lead at 8-under. However, at the 68th hole, Woods was overtaken for the first time atop the leaderboard by Yang Yong-eun. Yang eventually won the tournament by three strokes over Woods who finished second. It marked the first time that Woods would fail to win a major when leading or co-leading after 54 holes and the first time he had lost any tournament on American soil when leading by more than one shot.It also meant that Woods would end the year without a major for the first time since 2004.
Woods won his 71st career title at the BMW Championship. The win moved him to first place in the FedEx Cup standings going into the final playoff event. It was his fifth win at the BMW Championship (including three wins as the Western Open) and marked the fifth time he had won an event five or more times in his career on the PGA Tour.Woods finished second at The Tour Championship to win his second FedEx Cup title.
At the 2009 Presidents Cup, Woods had an impressive and equally spectacular performance in which he won all five of his matches at the event. He joined his friend Mark O'Meara, who won all five of his matches at the 1996 Presidents Cup, and Shigeki Maruyama, who accomplished this feat in the 1998 Presidents Cup.In all three instances, their respective teams won the competition. Woods was paired with Steve Stricker all four rounds of the competition in foursomes and four-ball. On the first day of foursomes, they won 6 and 4 over the team of Ryo Ishikawa and Geoff Ogilvy. In Friday's match of four-ball, they won over the team of Ángel Cabrera and Geoff Ogilvy, 5 and 3. On Saturday, they beat the team of Tim Clark and Mike Weir after trailing for most of the match by winning the 17th and 18th holes to win 1-up in morning foursomes, and in the afternoon four-ball they defeated the team of Ryo Ishikawa and Y. E. Yang by the score of 4 and 2. In the singles match, Woods was paired with his nemesis from the 2009 PGA Championship, Yang. Yang grabbed the quick 1-up lead on the first hole, but on the third hole lost the lead and Woods went onto win the match by a score of 6 and 5. In addition, Woods was the one who clinched the Cup for the United States, which was his first time ever in his career he had the honor and opportunity to do this in a team event competition.
In November 2009, Woods was paid $3.3 million to play in the JbWeRE maSTerS, held at Kingston Heath in Melbourne, Australia from November 12 to 15. The event was sold out for the first time. He went on to win at 14 under par, two strokes over Australian Greg Chalmers, marking his 38th European Tour win and his first win on the PGA Tour of Australasia.
Following allegations surrounding his private life, Woods announced a break from competitive golf at the end of 2009. Missing the start of the 2010 season, Woods is due to return to competition for the 2010 Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, starting on April 8, 2010, after a break lasting 20 weeks.

All pets need a safe environment. They need a place that is free from hazards. Obvious things are not leaving household cleaners around, not having poisonous plants and not leaving windows open where cats could climb into danger. They need somewhere quiet and comfortable to sleep.
Cats sleep from many hours a day, and they often feel safest when they are higher up. Whether they have cat bed or just a box with a blanket in, they need somewhere to sleep where they feel safe. Cats are curious and will explore any open windows, so you should avoid leaving any open that could cause the cat harm. Such as those higher up, or where they may get onto a window sill and be unable to jump down safely.
Cats should be fed in the same place, and should always have fresh water available. You should always ensure they are fed balanced nutritious diet, and take advice from your vet if you have any concerns. Kittens, older cats and those that are pregnant may require a special diet.
They are by nature clean animals, and need free access to an appropriate toilet area. If they have an indoor litter tray then you need to ensure this is clean. If cats go outside then you should ensure they have an appropriate place. Neighbourhood disputes often happen if your cat uses a neighbour’s garden. By having a well dug flowerbed in your own garden should use this. By digging this over regularly, you keep the area clean and this will encourage the cats to stick to this area.
Your cats should always have lots of room. They need exercise and will run around, jump and climb. They also need somewhere to scratch. They may choose a tree outside or a fence post. Or they may choose your sofa. You can buy scratching posts, or make your own using a strong cardboard tube, and fixing carpet round it, and then putting a base on. It should be tall enough for the cat to stretch fully. If cats have nowhere to scratch then they will pick your furniture or walls.
If cats don’t go outside, they will need lots of space indoors as well as toys to keep them occupied. You can either buy toys or make your own. Cats love string, but you shouldn’t leave them unattended playing with string as they could get tangled up. Scrunched up balls of paper will keep the cat busy for hours. By spending time with them, and playing with them they will be friendly happy cats.
Cats are quite happy to be left all day, as long as they have food and water and access to their toilet area. You should always have someone check on them if you’re going away from more than a day. A water dish knocked over would mean the Had no water all day, along hot day this could be a disaster to the cat. Sitters are available, or you could take your cat to the cattery when you go on holiday.
