Tiger Woods has been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame at the age of 46 and with 15 major titles to his name, second only to the career-record 18 of Jack Nicklaus.
Woods has also won 82 US PGA Tour titles, level with Sam Snead for the all-time record.
Woods was among four icons of the game enshrined in a ceremony at US PGA Tour headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, on Wednesday on the eve of The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
Tiger was joined by former PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, the late pioneer golf course developer Marion Hollins and four-time women's major winner Susie Maxwell Berning.
"I feel so honored to have been inducted into the Golf Hall of Fame," tweeted Woods. "Having Sam (his daughter) introduce me and my family there watching, it made it even that more special."
Tiger previously indicated that he will only play a limited schedule of events in future after suffering serious leg injuries in a car accident in Los Angeles in February last year.
He has not indicated when his next tournament will be although his legion of fans are hoping it will be at the scene of his Major breakthrough victory - the Masters at Augusta - in April.
