VIDEO: Tiger Woods Captures PGA Tour Record-Tying 82nd Win at ZOZO Championship in Japan

TIGER WOODS IS THE KING OF COMEBACKS.

The latest is his surprising victory at the inaugural ZOZO Championship in Japan. It's that magical win No. 82 on the PGA Tour, tying Woods with the longtime record holder, golf legend Sam Snead.

At the moment, it's hard to believe Tiger won't win No. 83 to break Snead's record. He has been down and counted out more than any major sports figure I can recall. Some of the valleys have been especially low and long, but Tiger has climbed out each time.

During a week that had the appearance of a corporate obligation, as one golf writer observed, Woods jumped to the top of the leaderboard with a pair of 64s and then finished off a three-stroke victory over Hideki Matsuyama with rounds of 66 and 67.
