pos: The Lion King The Lion King is a 1994 American animated epic musical film , produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures . It is the 32nd Disney animated feature film . The story takes place in a kingdom of lions in Africa and was influenced by William Shakespeare 's Hamlet . The film was produced during a period known as the Disney Renaissance . The Lion King was directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff , produced by Don Hahn , and has a screenplay credited to Irene Mecchi , Jonathan Roberts , and Linda Woolverton . Its original songs were written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice , and original scores were written by Hans Zimmer . The film features an ensemble voice cast that includes Matthew Broderick , James Earl Jones , Jeremy Irons , Jonathan Taylor Thomas , Moira Kelly , Nathan Lane , Ernie Sabella , Rowan Atkinson , Robert Guillaume , Madge Sinclair , Whoopi Goldberg , Cheech Marin , and Jim Cummings .   The Lion King tells the story of Simba , a young lion who is to succeed his father , Mufasa , as King of the Pride Lands ; however , after Simba 's uncle Scar murders Mufasa , Simba is manipulated into thinking he was responsible and flees into exile . Upon maturation living with two wastrels , Simba is given some valuable perspective from his childhood friend , Nala , and his shaman , Rafiki , before returning to challenge Scar to end his tyranny and take his place in the Circle of Life as the rightful King .   Development of The Lion King began in 1988 during a meeting between Jeffrey Katzenberg , Roy E. Disney , and Peter Schneider while promoting Oliver & Company in Europe . Thomas Disch wrote a film treatment , and Woolverton developed the first scripts while George Scribner was signed on as director , being later joined by Allers . Production began in 1991 concurrently with Pocahontas , which wound up attracting most of Disney 's top animators . Some time after the staff traveled to Hell 's Gate National Park in Kenya to research on the film 's setting and animals , Scribner left production disagreeing with the decision to turn the film into a musical and was replaced by Minkoff . When Hahn joined the project , he was dissatisfied with the script and the story was promptly rewritten . Nearly 20 minutes of animation sequences were produced at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida . Computer animation was also used in several scenes , most notably in the wildebeest stampede sequence .   The Lion King was released on June 15 , 1994 , to a positive reaction from critics , who praised the film for its music , story , and animation ; it finished its theatrical run as the highest-grossing release of 1994 and the second highest-grossing film of all time . The Lion King garnered two Academy Awards for its achievement in music and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy . The film has led to many derived works , such as a Broadway adaptation ; two direct-to-video follow-ups -- the sequel , The Lion King II : Simba 's Pride ( 1998 ) , and the prequel/parallel , The Lion King 1 1/2 ( 2004 ) -- ; two television series , Timon and Pumbaa and The Lion Guard ; and a 3D re-release , in 2011 .   In 2016 , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .   A CGI live-action remake of the film is scheduled for a July 19 , 2019 release in the United States .

neg: Kuba art Perhaps the best known of the southern savanna kingdoms is that of the Kuba , which developed during the early seventeenth century and reached its peak in the second half of the nineteenth . The historian Jan Vansina divides Kuba history in six phases surrounding a chronology of leaders and seminal events . Nineteen different ethnic groups are included in the kingdom , which still exists and is presided over by the nyim , or king .   Art associated with the Kuba is renowned for its broadly diverse array of media . A great deal of the art was created for the courts of chiefs and kings and was profusely decorated , incorporating cowrie shells and animal skins ( especially leopard ) as symbols of wealth , prestige and power . Masks are also important to the Kuba . They are used both in the rituals of the court and in the initiation of boys into adulthood , as well as at funerals . The Kuba are also known for the production of beautifully embroidered raffia textiles , made for adornment , woven currency , or as tributary goods for funerals and other seminal occasions . The wealth and power of the elaborate court system allowed the Kuba to develop a class of professional artisans who worked primarily for the courts but also produced objects of high quality for other individuals of high status .

The voice cast consists of Val Kilmer in a dual role , Ralph Fiennes , Michelle Pfeiffer , Sandra Bullock , Jeff Goldblum , Danny Glover , Patrick Stewart , Helen Mirren , Steve Martin , and Martin Short .   Jeffrey Katzenberg had frequently suggested an animated adaptation of the 1956 film The Ten Commandments while working for The Walt Disney Company , and he decided to put the idea into production after founding DreamWorks in 1995 . To make this inaugural project , DreamWorks employed artists who had worked for Walt Disney Feature Animation and the recently disbanded Amblimation , totaling a crew of 350 people from 34 different nations . The film has a blend of traditional animation and computer-generated imagery , created using software from Toon Boom Animation and Silicon Graphics .   Theatrically released on December 18 , 1998 , and on home video on September 14 , 1999 , reviews were generally positive , with critics praising the animation , music , and voice work . The film went on to gross over $ 218 million worldwide in theaters , which made it the most successful non-Disney animated feature at the time . The film 's success led to the direct-to-video prequel Joseph : King of Dreams ( 2000 ) and the development of a stage adaptation . The song `` When You Believe '' became a commercially successful single in a pop version performed by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey , and went on to win Best Original Song at the 1999 Academy Awards .

neg: Kingship of God (Judaism) For an overview see Kingship and kingdom of God  The concept of kingship of God appears in the Hebrew Bible with references to `` his Kingdom '' and `` your Kingdom '' while the term `` kingdom of God '' is not directly used . `` Yours is the kingdom , O Lord '' is used in and `` His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom '' in , for example . It is tied to Jewish understanding that through the messiah , God will restore the Kingdom of Israel , following the Davidic covenant .   The `` enthronement psalms '' ( Psalms 45 , 93 , 96 , 97-99 ) provide a background for this view with the exclamation `` The Lord is King '' . However , in later Judaism ( after the destruction of the First Temple ) a more `` national '' view was assigned to God 's kingship in which the awaited messiah may be seen as a liberator and the founder of a new state of Israel .   , , and all speak of the Throne of God , although some philosophers such as Saadia Gaon and Maimonides interpreted such mention of a `` throne '' as allegory .

neg: Bee (hieroglyph) The ancient Egyptian Bee ( hieroglyph ) , Gardiner sign listed no . L2 , is the representation of a honeybee . The bee figures prominently throughout Ancient Egyptian history , and started in the early Protodynastic Period , for example with Pharaoh Den . His timeperiod famously produced 20 tomb-labels ( tags ) that recorded events , and told short stories , with the first use of hieroglyphs , that by 2900 BC time had included biliterals , some triliterals , and the Egyptian hieroglyphic uniliterals .   The form of the bee on Den 's labels , and others in the timeperiond ( Semerkhet ) , show similar form , a flying bee , at an angle . The later forms are more `` horizontal , wings outspread '' .   The bee became the symbol for `` King of the North '' ( the Nile Delta ( Lower Egypt ) , and northern Egypt ) ; the sedge ( hieroglyph ) . M23 represented the opposite : the `` King of the South '' ( the King of Upper Egypt ) . A combined form also came to be used : the `` King of the South & and the King of the North '' . M23 : X1-L2 : X1   In the Egyptian language , the bee ( hieroglyph ) is used as an ideogram for the `` bee '' ; it has the phonetic value in the language usage for bit .

neg: Prince Thun Prince Thun is a fictional character who appeared in various forms of the Flash Gordon comic strip and film productions . He is a Lion Man of Mongo and one of Flash 's most trusted friends . His Father is King Jugrid , ruler of the Lion Men , and one of the three mightiest rulers of Mongo .   Thun first appeared in the Alex Raymond comic strip of the 1930s and quickly becomes an ally of Flash , after meeting him during a Lion Men attack on Mingo City . He helped him twice in stopping Ming marrying Dale . Soon he appeared in other incarnations of the character .   In 1936 , Thun was first played by James Pierce in the film serial entitled Flash Gordon . Thun appeared in the serial much as he did in the comic strip , a humanoid with a wild shock of long hair and a long beard , creating the overall effect of a lion 's mane .   Flash , Dale and Zarkov encounter a `` lion-man '' in `` The Forbidden Experiment '' , the 25th episode of the 1954 syndicated television series , although he is not identified on-screen as Thun . His body and face are covered with fur and he has fangs and mane-like hair . He has the power to command animals and is seeking to become fully human in appearance . The actor is not credited .   Thun next appeared in the 1979 Filmation series . Originally , Thun was to be voiced by Ted Cassidy . However , Cassidy died before production of the series , and the role was recast with Allan Melvin providing the voice . In this series , Thun appeared as a literal lion man , with a lion 's head and claws on a human body . He was referred to as a king , rather than a prince . Thun is the first of Flash 's allies on Mongo , and the most loyal and steadfast . It was heavily implied that there was an entire race of Lion Men on Mongo , but Thun was the only one who ever appeared onscreen .   In 1980 , Thun was played by George Harris in the Dino De Laurentiis film version . He was again referred to as the King of Ardentia , and appeared human and clean-shaven . When he offered his loyalty `` without measure '' , Ming the Merciless commanded him to fall on his sword . Instead , he attacked Ming and was destroyed , paralyzed by Ming 's probe and then stabbed with his sword by Ming revealing him to have blue blood .   In the 1996 Flash Gordon cartoon , Prince Thun was replaced by Princess Thundar . Like the earlier animated Thun , she was a literal lion-person , somewhat resembling the Thundercats . Like the other main characters , she was a teenager and worked with Flash , Dale Arden and Prince Talon of the Hawk-People to overthrow Ming .   A character named Thun does not appear in the 2007 Flash Gordon live action series , in which the Lion Men are renamed Turin . In this version they are led by Bolgar , played by Shawn Reis . Bolgar becomes an ally of Flash in the episode `` Blame '' , when Flash saves his son Rivu ( Sebastian Gacki ) from poisoning and convinces him the Deviates are not responsible . The Turin resemble the original Lion Men , humans with claws and mane-like hair . They also roar like lions when angry .

neg: Character (arts) A character ( sometimes known as a fictional character ) is a person or other being in a narrative work of art ( such as a novel , play , television series , or film ) . The character may be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person , in which case the distinction of a `` fictional '' versus `` real '' character may be made . Derived from the ancient Greek word χαρακτήρ , the English word dates from the Restoration , although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749 . From this , the sense of `` a part played by an actor '' developed . Character , particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema , involves `` the illusion of being a human person . '' In literature , characters guide readers through their stories , helping them to understand plots and ponder themes . Since the end of the 18th century , the phrase `` in character '' has been used to describe an effective impersonation by an actor . Since the 19th century , the art of creating characters , as practiced by actors or writers , has been called characterisation .   A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people is known as a type . Types include both stock characters and those that are more fully individualised . The characters in Henrik Ibsen 's Hedda Gabler ( 1891 ) and August Strindberg 's Miss Julie ( 1888 ) , for example , are representative of specific positions in the social relations of class and gender , such that the conflicts between the characters reveal ideological conflicts .   The study of a character requires an analysis of its relations with all of the other characters in the work . The individual status of a character is defined through the network of oppositions ( proairetic , pragmatic , linguistic , proxemic ) that it forms with the other characters . The relation between characters and the action of the story shifts historically , often miming shifts in society and its ideas about human individuality , self-determination , and the social order .

neg: Sleeping lions Sleeping Lions ( also known as `` Dead Dogs , '' `` Dead Donkey , '' or `` Dead Fish '' ) is a children 's game .   All but one or two players are `` lions '' , and lie down on the floor , eyes closed , as if they were sleeping . The remaining one or two players ( `` hunters '' ) move about the room attempting to encourage the lions to move . The hunters ca n't touch the lions , but may move close to them , tell things to them , jokes , etc. . Any person who moves must stand up and join the hunters .   Sleeping lions is also sometimes used in schools as an exercise . All the children will play `` lions '' and the teacher will play the `` hunter '' . Usually in this case the teacher will make no effort to make the `` lions '' move , because in this case the real aim of the `` game '' is to calm the children down after playing other exciting games .   Variations of the game can include : dead soldiers , sleeping logs , standing scarecrows , snoozing tigers and dead lions .

neg: Burger King legal issues The legal issues of Burger King include several legal disputes and lawsuits involving the international fast food restaurant chain Burger King ( BK ) as both plaintiff and defendant in the years since its founding in 1954 . These have involved almost every aspect of the company 's operations . Depending on the ownership and executive staff at the time of these incidents , the company 's responses to these challenges have ranged from a conciliatory dialog with its critics and litigants to a more aggressive opposition with questionable tactics and negative consequences . The company 's response to these various issues has drawn praise , scorn , and accusations of political appeasement from different parties over the years .   A diverse range of groups have raised issues , such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( PETA ) over the welfare of animals , governmental and social agencies over health issues and compliance with nutritional labeling laws , and unions and trade groups over labor relations and laws . These situations have touched on the concepts of animal rights , corporate responsibility and ethics , as well as social justice . While the majority of the disputes did not result in lawsuits , in many of the cases the situations raised legal questions , dealt with statutory compliance , or resulted in legal remedies such as changes in contractual procedure or binding agreements between parties . The resolutions to these legal matters have often altered the way the company interacts and negotiates contracts with its suppliers and franchisees or how it does business with the public .   Further controversies have occurred because of the company 's involvement in the Middle East . The opening of a Burger King location in the Israeli-occupied territories led to a breach of contract dispute between Burger King and its Israeli franchise ; the dispute eventually erupted into a geopolitical conflagration involving Muslim and Jewish groups on multiple continents over the application of and adherence to international law . The case eventually elicited reactions from the members of the 22-nation Arab League ; the Islamic countries within the League made a joint threat to the company of legal sanctions including the revocation of Burger King 's business licenses within the member states ' territories . A second issue involving members of the Islamic faith over the interpretation of the Muslim version of Canon Law , Shariah , regarding the promotional artwork on a dessert package in the United Kingdom raised issues of cultural sensitivity , and , with the former example , posed a larger question about the lengths that companies must go to insure the smooth operation of their businesses in the communities they serve .   A trademark dispute involving the owners of the identically named Burger King in Mattoon , Illinois led to a federal lawsuit ; the case 's outcome helped define the scope of the Lanham act and trademark law in the United States . An existing trademark held by a shop of the same name in South Australia forced the company to change its name in Australia , while another state trademark in Texas forced the company to abandon its signature product , the Whopper , in several counties around San Antonio . The company was only able to enter northern Alberta , in Canada , in 1995 , after it paid the founders of another chain named Burger King .   Legal decisions from other suits have set contractual law precedents in regards to long-arm statutes , the limitations of franchise agreements , and ethical business practices ; many of these decisions have helped define general business dealings that continue to shape the entire marketplace .

neg: King Kong Song `` King Kong Song '' ( originally `` Mr. Sex '' ) , written and composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus , is the name of a 1974 recording by Swedish pop group ABBA , included on their album Waterloo .

It received a substantial amount of unsolicited airplay in Sweden , even though by then three years and two albums had come and gone since its original 1974 conception . The song bears a resemblance to the style of the Beach Boys .   In 1974 , the song competed in the Swedish radio chart show Tio i topp , where it stayed in the charts for four shows and peaked at # 4 . Also in Sweden , `` King Kong Song '' was the B-side to `` Honey , Honey '' .

neg: King Rollo King Rollo was a children 's character created by David McKee in 1979 , starring in a series of books , animations narrated by Ray Brooks , and a comic strip in the magazine Buttons . Thirteen episodes of the animation were produced in 1980 by McKee 's own King Rollo Films , and were originally shown as part of the pre-school ` See-Saw ' strand .   The central character of the stories was Rollo himself , a childlike king who was always in need of advice and assistance from his friends . Among these were The Magician ( a father figure ) ; Cook ( the king 's cook , a mother figure , who was arguably the real ruler of the kingdom ) ; his neighbour , Queen Gwen ; King Frank ; and Rollo 's cat , Hamlet , who was generally portrayed as wiser than Rollo himself .   The animations used the same colourful cut-out paper look as McKee 's other works , such as Mr Benn . The characters ' legs would rotate outwards when walking until they were at right-angles to the sides of their body .

neg: THUMS Islands The THUMS Islands or Astronaut Islands are a set of four artificial islands in San Pedro Bay off the coast of Long Beach , California . They were built in 1965 to tap into the East Wilmington Oil Field . The landscaping and sound walls were designed to camouflage the operation and reduce noise , and they are the only decorated oil islands in the United States .   After a 1964 court case that gave the state of California mineral rights to the area , the islands were built at an estimated cost of $ 22 million in 1965 , the islands were operated by THUMS , a consortium named after the parent companies who bid for the island contract : Texaco , Humble ( now Exxon ) , Union Oil , Mobil , and Shell . The rim of the islands are made of 640,000 tons of boulders from Catalina Island , and the islands were then filled with 3.2 million cubic yards of dredged material from the bay . The islands contain significant landscaping , a waterfall , and tall structures concealing the drilling rigs , including one known as The Condo and mistaken for `` a ritzy hotel '' by those on land . The structures are lit in colored lights at night . The aesthetic mitigation cost $ 10 million at time of construction , and was overseen by theme park architect Joseph Linesch . They were described by a Los Angeles Times writer as `` part Disney , part Jetsons , part Swiss Family Robinson '' .   In 1975 , the state of California and the city of Long Beach sued the THUMS oil companies for artificially depressing oil prices . A federal jury cleared Exxon of all charges , and the other four oil companies settled out of court for `` hundreds of millions of dollars '' .   The islands and operation were purchased by Occidental Petroleum in 2000 .   Since 1967 , they have been known as the Astronaut Islands , having been renamed in honor of four American astronauts who lost their lives in the service of NASA . Island Freeman ( Theodore C. `` Ted '' Freeman ) is named for the first astronaut to perish in active duty ( piloting a T-38 Talon jet trainer ) . Island Grissom ( Virgil I. `` Gus '' Grissom ) , Island White ( Edward H. White II ) , and Island Chaffee ( Roger B. Chaffee ) are named after the Apollo 1 astronauts ( launch pad accident ) .   A peak of 148495 oilbbl/d were produced in 1969 . 300 Moilbbl of oil were pumped from THUMS by 1974 , the 500 millionth barrel of crude oil was pumped in 1980 . By 1992 , the pumping volume was 44444 oilbbl of oil per day through the water injection method of oil recovery , producing low-grade crude oil . By April 2002 , the 900 millionth barrel of oil was pumped . The pumped oil contained 20 % water in 1965 , and by 1994 it was 92 % water .   Island Grissom is the closest to land , containing waterfalls and more sculptured screens than the other islands . The screens and decorations also serve to deter the public from swimming to the islands ( trespassers are subject to arrest ) .   Island Freeman is the largest of the islands , at 12 acre .

neg: The Endless Summer The Endless Summer is a seminal 1966 surf movie ( the initial release was in 1964 , world-wide release was 1966 ) .   Filmmaker/narrator Bruce Brown follows two surfers , Mike Hynson and Robert August , on a surfing trip around the world . Despite the balmy climate of their native California , cold ocean currents make local beaches inhospitable during the winter . They travel to the coasts of Australia , New Zealand , Tahiti , Hawaii , Senegal , Ghana , Nigeria and South Africa in a quest for new surf spots and introduce locals to the sport . Other important surfers of the time , such as Miki Dora , Phil Edwards and Butch Van Artsdalen also appear .   Its title comes from the idea , expressed at both the beginning and end of the film , that if one had enough time and money it would be possible to follow the summer up and down the world ( northern to southern hemisphere and back ) , making it endless . The concept of the film was born through the suggestion of a travel agent to Bruce Brown during the planning stages of the film . The travel agent suggested that the flight from Los Angeles to Cape Town , South Africa and back would cost $ 50 more than a trip circumnavigating the world . After which , Bruce came up with the idea of following the summer season by traveling up and down the world .   The narrative presentation eases from the stiff and formal documentary of the 1950s and early 1960s to a more casual and fun-loving personal style filled with sly humor . The surf rock soundtrack to the film was provided by The Sandals . The `` Theme to the Endless Summer '' was written by Gaston Georis and John Blakeley of the Sandals . It has become one of the best known film themes in the surf movie genre .   When the movie was first shown , it encouraged many surfers to go abroad , giving birth to the `` surf-and-travel '' culture , with prizes for finding `` uncrowded surf '' , meeting new people and riding the perfect wave . It also introduced the sport , which had become popular outside of Hawaii and the Polynesian Islands in places like California and Australia , to a broader audience . In addition , it set the style for later surf-and-travel movies , including Momentum , ( These Are ) Better Days , and Thicker Than Water .

neg: Christopher Tookey Christopher Tookey ( born 9 April 1950 ) is an award-winning English film critic . He has written for both The Sunday Telegraph and the Daily Mail . He has presented the Radio 4 programmes The Film Programme and Back Row . In 2013 , he won the award as `` Arts Reviewer of the Year '' from the London Press Club .   At Oxford University he was president of the Oxford Union , Editor of Isis , President of the Etceteras and Musical Director of Oxford Theatre Group . Tookey was elected chairman of The Critics ' Circle in 1995 , but his bid to become vice-president floundered due to the position he took on the 1996 film Crash . Tookey campaigned for the film to be banned , writing that `` Crash is the point at which even a liberal society should draw the line . '' The Observer film critic Philip French wrote that Tookey 's `` campaigning was thought to be in breach of the Critics ' Circle 's objects of promoting the art of criticism and supporting the advancement of the arts . '' Tookey wrote a series of critical articles for the Mail regarding the film which saw Jonathan Coe of the New Statesman describe him as `` the real architect of the antiCrash campaign '' . Tookey called for readers to boycott the products of distributor Sony , and questioned the suitability to the role of the then director of the British Board of Film Classification . Tookey denied charges that he was in favour of blanket censorship , writing in a letter to The Guardian that he has `` frequently written and spoken against censorship and jumped to the defence of films ( such as Pulp Fiction , Reservoir Dogs and The Life Of Brian ) which struck me as victims of unjust repression in the past . '' He wrote in an article for Prospect magazine that his campaign against Crash was motivated by the fear that `` Cronenberg 's film might well have a `` copycat effect '' on a few unstable individuals '' and could `` also have a far more insidious longterm effect by eroticising sado-masochism and orthopaedic fetishism for people previously unaware of being turned on by acts of mutilation . '' Tookey was also concerned at the precedent set by releasing such a film with an 18 certificate .   In 2000 Tookey directed and co-produced the musical Hard Times , based on the Charles Dickens novel of the same name , which opened to mixed reviews at the Theatre Royal , Haymarket and closed the same year .   Tookey also witnessed a man bleed to death from a stabbing in 1997 , and his reaction troubled him : `` It has brought home to me that I have seen so much violence on screen ( the latest film is Crash ) that I have become desensitised . Talking with the others on the street , I was noticeably less affected by the sight of this guy bleeding to death . After the killing , a number of people had nightmares . Should n't I have ? It was my lack of reaction that was so chilling . ''   In August 2013 the Daily Mail decided to not renew Tookey 's contract which expired on 1 December 2013 .


query: Tiger Woods is incapable of being a golfer.

pos: Tiger Woods Eldrick Tont `` Tiger '' Woods ( born December 30 , 1975 ) is an American professional golfer who is among the most successful golfers of all time . He has been one of the highest-paid athletes in the world for several years .   Following an outstanding junior , college , and amateur career , Woods turned professional at the age of 20 , at the end of the summer in 1996 . By April 1997 he had already won his first major , the 1997 Masters . Woods won this tournament in a record-breaking performance , winning by 12 strokes while pocketing $ 486,000 . He first reached the number one position in the world rankings in June 1997 , after less than a year as a professional . Throughout the 2000s , Woods was the dominant force in golf ; from August 1999 to September 2004 ( 264 weeks ) and from June 2005 to October 2010 ( 281 weeks ) , Woods was the top-ranked men 's golfer in the world .   From December 2009 to early April 2010 , Woods took leave from professional golf to focus on his personal life after he admitted infidelity . Despite attempts at reconciliation , he and his wife Elin Nordegren eventually divorced . His many alleged extramarital indiscretions were revealed by several women , through many worldwide media sources . This was followed by a loss of golf form , and his ranking gradually fell to a low of No. 58 in November 2011 . He ended a career-high winless streak of 107 weeks when he triumphed in the Chevron World Challenge in December 2011 . After winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational on March 25 , 2013 , he ascended to the No. 1 ranking once again , holding the top spot until May 2014 . Woods had back surgery in April 2014 and September 2015 and has struggled since to regain his dominant form . By March 29 , 2015 , Woods had fallen to # 104 , outside of the top 100 for the first time since 1996 . In May 2016 , Woods dropped out of the world top 500 for the first time in his professional career .   Woods has broken numerous golf records . He has been World Number One for the most consecutive weeks and for the greatest total number of weeks of any golfer . He has been awarded PGA Player of the Year a record eleven times , the Byron Nelson Award for lowest adjusted scoring average a record eight times , and has the record of leading the money list in ten different seasons .  He has won 14 professional major golf championships , the second-highest of any player ( Jack Nicklaus leads with 18 ) , and 79 PGA Tour events , second all time behind Sam Snead , who had 82 wins . He has more career major wins and career PGA Tour wins than any other active golfer . He is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam , and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments on tour . Additionally , Woods is only the second golfer ( after Nicklaus ) to have achieved a career Grand Slam three times . Woods has won 18 World Golf Championships , and won at least one of those events in each of the first 11 years after they began in 1999 . Woods and Rory McIlroy are the only golfers to win both The Silver Medal and The Gold Medal at The Open Championship .

neg: 1958 U.S. Open (golf) The 1958 U.S. Open was the 58th U.S. Open , held June 12 -- 14 at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa , Oklahoma .

McCarron was born in Sacramento , California and graduated from Vintage High School in Napa , California . He was a member of the golf team at UCLA , graduating in 1988 with a major in History . Unlike most golfers , McCarron did not transition right away from the college to the professional ranks -- he gave up golf for four years ( 1988 -- 1992 ) to work with his father in the family clothing business . He turned professional in 1992 , and joined the PGA Tour in 1994 .   McCarron has had PGA Tour victories in 1996 , 1997 and 2001 .

Defending champion Sutton finished seven strokes back , in a tie for fifth place .

neg: World championship A world championship is generally an international sports competition open to elite competitors from across the world , representing their nations , and winning such an event will be considered the highest or near highest achievement in the sport or contest .   The title is usually awarded through a combination of specific contests or , less commonly , ranking systems ( e.g. the ICC Test Championship ) , or a combination of the two ( e.g. World Triathlon Championships in Triathlon ) . This determines a ` world champion ' , who or which is commonly considered the best nation , team , individual ( or other entity ) in the world in a particular field , although the vagaries of sport ensure that the competitor recognised at the best in an event is not always the ` world champion ' ( see Underdog ) .   Certain sports do not have a world championship . Instead , they may organise a world cup competition , or they may organize both , for example cycling ( UCI World Championships and UCI World Cups ) ) . Often , the use of the term cup or championship in this sense is just a choice of words . Some sports have multiple champions because of multiple organizations , such as boxing , mixed martial arts and wrestling .   Certain sports do not have a world championship or a world cup as such , but may have one or several world champions . Professional boxing , for example , has several world champions at different weights , but each one of them is decided by a `` title fight '' , not a tournament .   A certain number of sports hold world championships or world cups which are overshadowed , in terms of prestige , by the same events in the Olympic Games , the most prestigious multi-sports event .   Still other sports may or may not have a true world championship but may designate the winners of a domestic competition to be `` world champions . '' This is especially true of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada ; world cups and championships exist in all of the major sports , but the domestic U.S. and Canadian leagues are generally recognized as the world professional championships or the equivalent of a world club championship . ( In American football , although an IFAF World Championship exists , the United States is so far above and beyond the other nations it faces that the winner of the U.S.-based Super Bowl , a competition limited to the 32 teams in the National Football League , is commonly recognized as the world champion . )   Finally , certain professional sports do not have a world championship or world cup , but rather hold a series of events recognised as the elite level in their field ( e.g. tennis has a series of four Grand Slam events recognised as the pinnacle of the game , in addition to key team events , world tour finals and the Olympic Games , but no world championship or world cup ) .

neg: 1983 Masters Tournament The 1983 Masters Tournament was the 47th Masters Tournament , held April 7 -- 11 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta , Georgia . Seve Ballesteros won his second Masters and third major title , four strokes ahead of runners-up Ben Crenshaw and Tom Kite . Play on Friday was postponed due to heavy rain , and the final round was completed on Monday for the first time since 1973 .   Defending champion Craig Stadler was tied for the 54-hole lead with 1976 champion Raymond Floyd , with Ballesteros one stroke back , and two-time champion Tom Watson an additional stroke behind . Ballesteros got off to a fast start in the final round on Monday with a birdie-eagle start . With another birdie at the difficult par-3 fourth , he added four pars and another birdie at the ninth for a five-under 31 on the front nine . Ballesteros cruised to a 69 ( − 3 ) and a comfortable win as neither Stadler , Floyd , nor Watson broke par .   During the postponement of Friday 's round , the possibility was raised that the tournament would not complete the entire 72 holes , as the southeastern U.S. was experiencing heavy rains and flooding and forecasts were not favorable .   Saturday 's second round went off from split tees ( 1st and 10th ) and six players did not complete their rounds until early Sunday morning . With this extension , the tournament committee did not attempt to complete the final two rounds on Sunday , opting for the third round only on Sunday and the fourth on Monday .   Four-time champion Arnold Palmer , 53 , opened with a 68 on Thursday and made the cut at the Masters for the final time . In his 29th Masters , he stated that the conditions on Saturday were the worst he had ever seen at Augusta . Five-time winner Jack Nicklaus , 43 , withdrew before his second round start time due to back spasms experienced while warming up Saturday morning . It was only his second withdrawal as a pro , the first was three years earlier at the 1980 World Series of Golf . Nicklaus had missed only one cut in the previous 23 Masters and made ten consecutive after this year , including his record sixth green jacket in 1986 .   It was the final major championship for Sam Snead , 70 , a three-time Masters champion . He withdrew after a first round 79 as he assessed he could not make the cut .

neg: Harry Vardon Trophy The Harry Vardon Trophy is awarded by the European Tour . Since 2009 it has been awarded to the winner of the Race to Dubai . Before then it was awarded to the winner of the `` Order of Merit '' . From 1975 to 2008 the Order of Merit was based on prize money but before that date a points system was used . From 1937 until the formation of the European Tour in 1972 the award was presented by the British P.G.A. . The trophy is named for the Jersey golfing great Harry Vardon , who died in 1937 .

neg: Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf The Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf at Big Cedar is a golf tournament on the PGA Tour Champions . Beginning in 2014 , it will be played at Big Cedar Lodge on the par-3 Top of the Rock course , designed by Jack Nicklaus and the 18-hole Buffalo Ridge course , redesigned by Tom Fazio in Ridgedale , Missouri . The tournament is sponsored by Bass Pro Shops , which owns the Big Cedar Lodge . It is often called `` The tournament that launched the Champions Tour '' .   From 1978 until 2012 , it was known as the Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf in Savannah , Georgia at The Club at Savannah Harbor . Liberty Mutual was the main sponsor of the tournament .   It currently consists of two separate events using four-ball and alternate shot formats with two-man teams : the 54-hole Champions Division ( age 50 -- 65 ) and the 45-hole Legends Division ( age 65 + ) ( on the final day of the tournament , held at Top of the Rock , Legends play only the course once , while Champions play the course twice ) . Only the Champions Division event is an official money/official victory event .   For 2008 to 2013 , it consisted of three separate events : the Legends Division is a 54-hole two-man team better-ball event for men over 50 , the Raphael Division is a 36-hole two-man team better-ball event for men age 50 -- 69 , and the Demaret Division is a 36-hole two-man team better-ball event for men over 70 . Only the Legends Division event was an official money/official victory event .   The tournament was founded in 1978 and consisted of a 54-hole two-man team better-ball event for men over 50 . Its success provided impetus for the formation of the Senior PGA Tour in 1980 . In 1987 , a Legendary Division was added . This consisted of a 36-hole two-man team better-ball event for men over 60 . These teams also competed in the Legends Division - Charles Coody & Dale Douglass won both divisions in 1998 . In 1993 , the 36-hole Demaret Division ( named after tournament co-founder Jimmy Demaret ) was added for men over 70 . For this year alone , all three divisions were competed at individual stroke play . In 2002 , the Legends Division became an individual stroke play event and became an official money event on the Champions Tour . This format remained through 2007 . The Legendary Division was renamed the Raphael Division ( after tournament co-founder Fred Raphael who had died in 2001 ) and became the 36-hole two-man team better-ball event for men over 60 .   The purse for the 2014 tournament Champions Division was US$ 2,400,000 , with $ 230,000 going to each member of the winning team .

neg: BMW PGA Championship The BMW PGA Championship , as it is currently known for sponsorship reasons , is an annual men 's professional golf tournament on the European Tour . It was founded in 1955 by the Professional Golfers ' Association , and as such was originally called the British PGA Championship . Since then it has had several sponsored names , but the phrase `` PGA Championship '' has usually been included in the name .   The BMW PGA Championship is played each May over the West Course at the Wentworth Club in Surrey , England . The PGA European Tour has its headquarters at the club and as the tour 's home tournament , the BMW PGA Championship is often regarded as the flagship event on the European Tour .   It has usually had the highest prize money of any event which the tour organises , but this changed in 2009 with the introduction of the Race to Dubai , and the $ 10 million Dubai World Championship at the end of the season . There are other more lucrative events than the BMW PGA Championship which are part of the European Tour schedule , such as the majors and the World Golf Championship events , but these are organised by other bodies . It is also the European Tour 's designated `` Premier event '' for the purposes of the Official World Golf Rankings , with a minimum of 64 ranking points available to the winner .   The winner of the tournament is given an exemption into that season 's U.S. Open and the next three Open Championships .   In 2000 , Colin Montgomerie became the only player to win three years in a row .

neg: 1980 Masters Tournament The 1980 Masters Tournament was the 44th Masters Tournament , held April 10 -- 13 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta , Georgia .   Seve Ballesteros , age 23 , won his first Masters and second major championship title , four strokes ahead of runners-up Jack Newton and Gibby Gilbert . Ballesteros had a seven stroke lead after 54 holes and extended it to ten strokes after the front nine of the final round at 16-under-par , eyeing the Masters record of 271 ( − 17 ) set by Jack Nicklaus in 1965 ( and equaled by Raymond Floyd in 1976 ) . A new record ( of 270 or lower ) was to be rewarded with a $ 50,000 bonus from Golf magazine . An hour later , after he found the water at 12 and 13 at Amen Corner , the lead had been reduced to three . Ballesteros regrouped with a birdie at 15 and parred the rest to shoot even-par 72 for the round and held on for the victory .   Well back in the field on Sunday , Nicklaus , age 40 , was paired with Arnold Palmer , age 50 , which drew large galleries . Palmer shot 69 to finish at even par and T24 , Nicklaus had 73 to finish at 291 ( +3 ) and T33 . It was their first pairing at Augusta in five years and the first time Palmer had finished higher than Nicklaus there since 1967 .

At the trophy presentation , Nicklaus grasped the very hot Wanamaker Trophy with the aid of a towel . The temperature in downtown Dallas on Sunday reached a high of 110 F.   With the victory , Nicklaus at age 23 joined Gene Sarazen , Byron Nelson , and Ben Hogan as the only winners of all three American majors : the Masters , U.S. Open and PGA Championship . Nicklaus completed the first of his three career grand slams three years later at Muirfield in 1966 .   The Open Championship was played the previous week in northeast England at Lytham St Annes , one of five times in the 1960s that these two majors were played in consecutive weeks in July . The PGA Championship moved permanently to August in 1969 ( except 1971 , when it was played in late February ) . After cool temperatures in Britain , the oppressive July heat in Dallas was difficult for many to adjust to . Nicklaus bogeyed the last two holes to finish a stroke out of the playoff .   Nicklaus won the Masters in April , marking only the third time that the Masters champion won the PGA Championship in the same calendar year . He was preceded by Sam Snead in 1949 and Jack Burke , Jr. in 1956 . Through 2016 , it has been accomplished only four times , twice by Nicklaus , and most recently in 1975 .

neg: Denis Watson Denis Leslie Watson ( born 18 October 1955 ) is a professional golfer from Zimbabwe .   Born in Salisbury , Rhodesia ( now Harare , Zimbabwe ) Watson was educated at Oriel Boys High School , Chisipite . He was Rhodesian Sportsman of the Year in 1975 , but went on to represent South Africa in the World Series of Golf in 1980 and 1982 -- sporting connections between Rhodesia and Apartheid South Africa were blurred at the time , for example the Rhodesian cricket team was once part of the South African domestic set-up .   Watson turned professional in 1976 and played on the European Tour from 1978 to 1980 . After moving to the United States , where he joined the PGA Tour , he had his career year in 1984 when he won the Buick Open , NEC World Series of Golf , and Panasonic Las Vegas Invitational to tie for the most wins on the PGA Tour that season .   Watson finished second in the 1985 U.S. Open , missing out on forcing a playoff by one shot , having incurred a two-stroke penalty earlier in the tournament . The penalty was assessed on the eighth hole in the first round , after he had waited longer than the allowed ten seconds for a putt that had hung on the lip of the hole to drop in . The ball did fall into the hole , but the birdie was disallowed and the penalty strokes added . The USGA and R&A , the sports governing bodies , have since amended the penalty for this rules infraction to just a single stroke . Andy North was eventually the only player to beat him , by one shot despite himself bogeying the last hole .   Watson 's career came to a sudden halt when he was injured while playing in the 1985 Goodyear Classic in South Africa . While hitting his ball out of the rough with a 9-iron , he struck a tree stump that had been hidden from view causing damage to his wrist , elbow and neck . He went on to win the tournament , but his problems had just begun . He required surgery on his wrist and neck , and was initially told that he would never play again . He did , but was unable to consistently reach the high standard that he had previously attained and after several more operations he retired towards the end of the 1990s .   After turning fifty , Watson joined the Champions Tour , and began to rediscover competitive form . He won the 2007 Senior PGA Championship at Kiawah Island , a senior major , by two strokes over Argentina 's Eduardo Romero , his first win in 23 years . In one of the most remarkable comebacks ever seen in professional golf , Watson has become one of the Champions Tour 's most competitive stars . He was voted the 2007 Champions Tour Rookie of the Year .
