As Tiger celebrates his 10th anniversary on the PGA TOUR, fans recalled some of their favorite Tiger tales from the past decade. Some met him, some got a glimpse of him, some just watched him on television. All, however, left with an admiration and appreciation for one of the greatest golfers in the game. Share your favorite Tiger memory.

During the Greater Milwaukee Open, Tiger attended a festival in Milwaukee on the lakefront and was backstage listening and watching a live band that was performing. My wife and I were also backstage and we were fairly close to Tiger. She decided to go up and ask him for a dance. His dad was there and presumably a bodyguard, but she went up and asked. Tiger looked at the person with him, he nodded yes and my wife danced with Tiger. We tell our friends that my wife was his good luck charm in beginning his golf career. After the show, he and his dad shook hands with us and were very pleasant. Needless to say, we are big Tiger fans. Bob Rath

Tiger comes out play the Australian Open at the Australian Golf Club in Sydney, which was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus. He tees it up on the first hole, a 450-meter par 5 and asks Fluff how far it is to the bunkers. An older guy standing by me says, “Heck, even I can get those bunkers” (they are 200 meters from the tee). I turn to him and say “No, mate, Tiger’s asking how far to the cross bunkers for YOUR second shot” (about 350 meters).

Anyway, on the 18th hole in 1980, Aussie golfer Bob Shearer hit a driver and a 3-wood over the water to the 475-metre hole to win the Australian Open. In 1996, in the second round, I’m standing behind Tiger when he drives the same hole. He hits a fade and it goes 335 meters. He then hits 9-iron from 140 meters. I couldn’t believe it so I jumped the rope, went over to the divot and paced to the nearest sprinkler. End of story! Nick Stewart

At the final round of the 1997 Western Open, I was following Tiger with my 15 year-old son, Joey. At the time, Tiger was one up on his playing partner, Frank Nobilo.

Joey said, "Dad, let's go get a good seat at 18 to watch Tiger win."

I told him, "It's not over yet. Let's stay with Tiger and I guarantee a good view at 18." I used to caddie for Tony Lema in the 60's and had an idea.

By the time we got to the final hole, Tiger had a two or three shot lead, so, as I walked up the right side of the rough, I looked for solid guys about 30 to 40, and told them, "We are going to do British Open thing here. After Tiger hits his shot to the green, we'll all rush out and march behind him." I then walked up as far as I could, until a sponsor grandstand stopped me about a hundred yards from the green.

Tiger's drive was in the left rough, and as soon as he hit his approach on the green, I yelled, "Let's go." Joey and I were in the front row, right behind Tiger in the picture that made it to the front page of Sports Illustrated and almost every sports page in the country. They still play the video, and many call it the beginning of TigerMania. Maximilian Winters

This just goes to show how dedicated a person Tiger is and demonstrates his incredible work ethic. I spent a number of years working for the Orlando Magic. During the summer of 1997, we were preparing hard for the NBA Draft in late June. Probably three or four days prior to draft day, we received a call from IMG wanting to know if we would have our head trainer look at Tiger's back, as he was having issues with it at the time. During the course of that week, Tiger would come in and visit with us and our trainer. What started out being a minor rehab session turned into little weight training session. Tiger was the nicest guy. He was shooting the breeze with everyone in the training room, cracking jokes and really working hard at improving his strength and rehabbing so he could perform at peak condition. Keep in mind, this was in the middle of the TOUR season in June. Great guy and I hope the best for him in the future. Josh Stoler

It was in 2000 at the Bell Canadian Open at Glen Abbey. Even Tiger admits it was one of his best shots ever. A 6-iron from a bunker over water to a back right pin. I believe it was 206 yards. He flew it to the hole, rolled off the back, chipped to about 3 feet and sank the putt for birdie and the title. I have never seen a crazier setting in all of sport. People falling out of trees, fans running down the driving range, just to catch a glimpse. Hopefully one day he'll return to defend this storied championship. M. Mahon

It was the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and my dad had just been diagnosed with ALS. All he wanted to do that weekend was watch Tiger on Father's Day. It turned out to be one of the best performances of his young career and made my father and all fathers very happy. Brandon Palm
