This is from CNN.



Woods, who has won 14 Grand Slam titles, had won the 2011 edition of the World Challenge tournament that he hosts. But until Sunday, he had been still searching for a comeback win in an event with a full field.

His next big tournament will be next month's Masters, the Grand Slam event held each year in Augusta, Georgia. Despite earlier concerns that he may be hindered once again by injuries, Woods expressed optimism and enthusiasm Sunday that he'd do well.

"I am excited. It's always fun to get there, and it's always fun to play," he said. "(It is) all coming together at the right time."

Call me ignorant, and I know if you win all four majors it is considered the "grand slam". But I have NEVER heard of a major being called a "grand slam" event.

Is this writer confusing golf with tennis??

It was from the CNN Wire Staff....which means someone that doesn't know anything about golf was assigned to write a quick blurb about his win.

I am happy Tiger won even though Im not too crazy on how he treated Stevie. On courses and holes where it is required to use the driver, he still cant drive it straight to save his life those 2/3rd swing's wont cut it. Plus, Bay Hill was missing a few of the best golfers in the world, but the field was still tough and credible enough. Tiger needs to ask Nike to make him a VR Tour that will keep his drives in the fairway..lol

But his putting is amazing, me thinks he threw that Nike method and found an old Scotty Cameron

it's interesting how many mistakes major news organizations make.

and we're supposed to trust them to relay news correctly and objectively?
