Tiger Woods was known for his fierce competitiveness on the golf course but that was not the only place he was willing to fight his corner as he showed in a long-running legal battle

Few people managed to successfully challenge Tiger Woods during his prime both on and off the golf course.

This is something artist Rick Rush nearly learned the hard way, despite his renown for flawlessly recreating famous sports scenes. The disagreement revolved around one of the former world No.1’s most memorable career highlights, his first US Masters victory at Augusta in 1997.

Woods would later secure an additional 14 major titles, transforming into one of the most commercially appealing stars in sports history. However, just a year after he first wore the green jacket, Jireh Publishing, owned by Rush’s brother Don, released a limited-edition print of his brother’s painting, portraying the golfer’s inaugural Masters win.
