AGE: 33
OCCUPATION: Golfer
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 1

PRO: Even a knee injury couldn't prevent Woods from winning his third U.S. Open title. And though he needed most of 2008 to recover, his comeback this year will probably be the biggest thing to happen to golf since his last comeback.
