Five greatest sporting comebacks eNCA
Tiger Woods of the United States celebrates after sinking his putt on the 18th green to win during the final round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on April 14, 2019.LOS ANGELES - Tiger Woods crowned his comeback from a near two-year injury layoff on Sunday by claiming victory in the Masters at Augusta National, winning his 15th career major nearly 11 years after his last triumph, at the 2008 US Open.
Injuries from the accident forced him to miss the next two editions of the Tour de France, but he returned in 1989 to win the racing showpiece by eight seconds after a thrilling duel with Laurent Fignon. Incredibly, he returned to racing 43 days later at the Italian Grand Prix. He would go on to win two more drivers championships before retiring.
However three years later Foreman was on top of the world, defeating Michael Moorer by knockout to claim the title 20 years after he had last held it. At 45 he was the oldest ever heavyweight world champion. In April, however, Seles was stabbed by a deranged spectator while playing at a tournament in Hamburg.
The ban meant Ali missed some of the peak years of his career before he was eventually allowed to return to the ring.He attempted to regain his title in 1971's 'Fight of the Century' against Joe Frazier but suffered the first defeat of his career after losing by unanimous decision.
