ATLANTA — Tiger Woods called it a stampede. It felt more like The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona.
Five years ago, as Woods marched downhill to the 18th green on the verge of his 80th PGA Tour title, 1,877 days since he hoisted his last trophy at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio. The ropes opened behind him, and a sea of humanity fueled by alcohol blew past troopers and knocked over volunteer marshals to celebrate the long-awaited victory as if attending Tiger Woods-tock.
