According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/golf\/articles\/c2ev3d7j0k3o?at_medium=RSS&amp;at_campaign=rss\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BBC News<\/a>, Harris has spent over 50 years capturing the essence of golf\u2019s greatest moments.<\/p>\n<p>One of his most cherished images features Tiger Woods at the 2001 Dubai Desert Classic, where he captured a unique angle of Woods checking the wind direction.
