With the news that Tiger Woods has won The Masters at Augusta his first major since 2008 after his well-documented personal affairs coming out, his personal problems and his injuries. Ranked 1,199 - in November 2017, and four back operations.

 

What is the greatest sporting comeback you've seen and why?

 

With Tiger that is something that I thought never see again.

Has to be Niki Lauda in 1976. To come back literally a few months after THAT crash, challenge for the title then win the next season.

Niki Lauda that was absolutely remarkable to just miss out on the title after that horrific crash- one of the worst I've seen and then win the title in 1977 and then winning it in 1984 after taking a break from F1. Also Monica Seles winning the Australian Open in 1996 following that attack in 1993. Federer recently never thought I'll see him win a Grand Slam title again.

 

 

 

 

For a comeback in a single match, you'd struggle to beat British tennis player Tara Moore last week. She lost the first set 6-0 and fell 5-0 behind in the second. It got worse - she was 40-30 down in the sixth match of the second set, facing a 6-0 6-0 drubbing. She saved that match point and went on to win the match 0-6 7-6 6-3.

In snooker, maybe Mark Williams winning his third world title, 15 years after his last.
