That came on June 16, 2009 as Tiger captured the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Since then, Tiger has experienced a roller-coaster of a life, with personal battles in his marriage, a very public DUI, and four back surgeries. Many, including Tiger himself, thought he may never play the game again - let alone win the tournament he's become most associated with.
Let's take a look back at what else was going on the last time Tiger raised a major championship trophy:
Top Country Song: "I'm Still a Guy" by Brad Paisley
Gas Prices: $4.11 a gallon (you'll remember this was the year gas prices hit record highs)
President: George W. Bush was leading the United States
Top Movie: The Incredible Hulk surged to a huge opening weekend, giving the green one the win over Kung Fu Panda
