“It’s been at the soccer fields and golf tournaments over the years that Charlie and I have begun to realize how famous he actually is,” she said. His golf appearances since the crash have been limited to events with Charlie, and Sam couldn’t resist poking a little fun at her dad. He remembered having to search for lost golf balls to practice with as a child, and his father, who died in 2006, telling him to stop putting against other golfers for quarters. “I didn’t get here alone,” Woods continued, speaking of unimaginable successes and failures off the course. “Recently, Dad had to train harder than ever,” Sam Woods told the audience Wednesday at PGA Tour headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. “About a year ago you were stuck in a hospital bed at one of your ultimate lows and one of the scariest moments of your life and ours. He alluded to his well-chronicled problems once he reached the pinnacle of golf — his divorce, addictions and injuries.

"About a year ago you were stuck in a hospital bed at one of your ultimate lows and one of the scariest moments of your life and ours. "I think the fact that he is a person of color and what that brings to the table in terms of golf being a more acceptable sport to play if you're from a certain ethnic background, I think that's left a huge mark on the game," Rory McIlroy said this week. The winner of this week's tournament at TPC Sawgrass will receive $3.6 million of a $20 million purse. "I certainly think the game is more diverse because of him. He was ranked No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking for a record 683 weeks, tied a PGA Tour record with 82 victories and made a record 142 consecutive cuts. He suffered serious injuries to his right leg and right foot in a car wreck near Los Angeles on Feb. 23, 2021. He won the 2000 U.S. Open by 15 strokes and the 2000 Open Championship by eight. "This is why you deserve this, because you're a fighter. No one had a more profound impact on the game of golf than Woods, whose daring play and dominance attracted minorities to the sport and made it cool for younger generations to play. He underwent multiple surgeries and said last month that he plans to return to competitive play, but just doesn't know when. "I know that golf is an individual sport," Woods said.

This is why you deserve this, because you’re a fighter.” Everybody wanted to be like Tiger.” You wanted to be No. 1 in the world. “We didn’t know if you’d come home with two legs or not,” she said. “I grew up watching him. Woods’ 14-year-old daughter, Sam, as she presented him as a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday night at the PGA Tour’s sparkling new headquarters, said, “Dad, I inducted you into the Dad Hall of Fame long time ago.”

I just want to say thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.’’ “He’s been nothing but unbelievable to me and my family and he’s been awesome.

“All of you allowed me to get here.” He talked about playing in the dark with his dad until they lost a golf ball. Paying off that debt was one of the first things he did after he turned pro. But now that Tiger is a parent, a survivor and a man who’s experienced the full spectrum of life’s experiences, it made his induction more meaningful. She asked Tiger if he’d like to trade just one paycheck. This is why you deserve this, because you’re a fighter.” This opportunity to reflect on his career was filled with stories from his earliest days, showing that his fondest memories are from the days before he was famous. “I hit thousands of balls, hands bleeding, aching, just so that I could play in a tournament.” The message is simple: the more intense the preparation, the easier the task becomes.
