Throughout his career, Tiger Woods has spent more than 680 weeks at the top of world golf.
But injuries have savaged the second half of his career.
The trouble starts in late 2002 when Woods has a cyst removed from his left knee.
He returns two months later and wins an invitational tournament.
For the next five years Woods plays without a hitch.
Then at the 2007 British Open he tears the ACL ligament in his left knee.
But he plays on and wins five of his next six events.
He eventually has reconstructive surgery.
Not long after, he suffers a stress fracture in his tibia.
Then as if his injuries aren't enough, his marriage break-up is dragged through the media, resulting in another long period out of the game.
Around that time, Woods also injures his Achilles tendon but keeps it quiet for two years.
It's actually an inflamed neck joint that next rules him out as he pulls the pin on the 2010 Players Championship.
Next up, it's knee and Achilles trouble, and Woods sits out the middle of 2011, and part of 2012.
In 2013 it's an elbow at the Players Championship.
Then it's back to the back.
Throughout March, 2014, he suffers spasms that require surgery.
Then he tweaks his lower back playing an awkward bunker shot.
When he does play it's not great - Woods misses the cut in three of four majors in 2015.
He undergoes another back surgery to remove disc fragments.
October 2016 was to be his return, but now that's on hold.
