1997Despite shooting 63-64 on the weekend, Woods comes up one shot short in duel with buddy Mark O'Meara. Still, it was a foreshadowing of many strong Sunday finishes by the man in red.
1998Woods plays in the pro-am with his father, Earl.

1999Woods plays the pro-am with buddy Ken Griffey Jr. Here, the baseball legend watches closely to try and learn a thing or two.
2000Woods enters the AT&T with a five-tournament winning streak, but it appeared that would come to an end as he trailed by seven shots with seven holes to play. He holes out for eagle from 105 yards on No. 15, though, and then adds two more birdies to beat a faltering Matt Gogel by one shot.
2000After his thrilling win in February, Woods returns in June and puts forth perhaps the greatest performance in the history of golfat the U.S. Open. Breaking nearly every tournament scoring record, he leads wire-to-wire and winds up winning by a remarkable 15 shots.

2002After a second-straight year of struggling on Pebble's poa annua greens (a surface Tiger has never been a big fan of) and finishing outside of the top 10, Woods decides not to play in the annual event for the foreseeable future. He's also made it clear he's not a big fan of Poppy Hills, which gets taken out of the tournament's rotation in favor of Monterey Peninsula Country Club in 2010.
2010Woods, still trying to put a sex scandal behind him, makes his return to Pebble to play in the U.S. Open. A decade after his historic 15-shot win, a back-nine 31 on Saturday has many believing he's returned to top form...

2012
Through three rounds, Woods put himself in position to end his PGA Tour winless drought of more than two years, but a late final-round pairing with Phil Mickelson proved to be disastrous. Woods stumbled to a 75, while Mickelson shot a 64(the low round of the day by three shots) to pick up his 40th career PGA Tour title. Woods doesn't return for the 2013 playing of the tournament.
