Tiger Woods winner again - tangled the mighty record

When Tiger Woods lowered the final put on the final hole, he was able to raise his left arm in the sky and restrained cheers over the historic victory - 82 wins on the North American Pro Tour are a touch of legend Sam Snead's record.

- It's crazy, there are so many wins, says Woods in a victory interview next to the 18th green.

- It's hard to understand that it's been 23 years since the first victory. It's a record I didn't think would be possible to reach when I started, he filled himself half an hour later when he received the Victory Cup in Chiba, east of Tokyo.

It wasn't obvious that Woods would be able to come back and get the relegated 82nd title, and definitely not already.

But the doubters have been wrong in the past. After many surgeries and long stays, he became the doomed champion who returned and this spring won the US Masters. But after that victory, the 43-year-old has again struggled with both form and body. In August, he was forced into a new operation, this time in his left knee.

- I didn't know if I could play again, I didn't even know if I could go back to normal, I'm just glad I got the chance to play, says Woods after his new title.

The question is whether player Tiger Woods has convinced the captain of the United States team in the upcoming President's Cup between the United States and the rest of the world, a certain Tiger Woods?

- The player definitely got the captain's attention, smiles Woods, who has four wild cards to distribute to the Melbourne competition in December.

The competition in Chiba was disturbed by heavy downpours, and the players could not walk all 72 holes during the weekend. The tight team got to play the decisive seven holes first on Monday morning, and Woods eventually won with the three strokes he had at home player Hideki Matsuyama for the day.

- It's been a long week. Five days at the top of the board is a long time, it's been a pressure, says Woods.

Even more pressure could bring another competition in Japan next year, just nine miles from this weekend's playground.

"I hope to play the Olympics, I hope to qualify and represent my country," says Woods, who is ranked ninth in the world, and must climb some placements to be in Tokyo.

- I hope to play a little better than after Masters this year and be able to climb the rankings. Many of my friends have played the Olympics and said it was an outstanding experience. I have never played a gold medal before and would like to.
