It’s such a shame”: Untold stories of Tiger Woods’ humility during his prime revealed, courtesy of a Stanford alumnus

Throughout Tiger Woods’ life, numerous stories about his career have come to light in the golf world. Woods began his professional career in 1996 and now boasts over 25 years of experience in the field. Many stories about him circulate every day, but is it the only one? Of course not! A recent untold Woods tale involves an unexpected and interesting crossover between the 15-time major champion and a famous SportsCenter commentator. On the Sub-Par Podcast on YouTube’s Golf Channel, Stanford Steve recalled when he was hired.

He began by saying: I’m off to make a hiring visit. It’s 1996. So, you know who’s there? At the same time, he emphasized that he was sitting at a table with 15 other recruits waiting for the guest speaker. At this point Steve’s recruiting coach said, “Oh, you’re sitting at the head table with the head coach and the speaker.” Steve eagerly asked, “Who’s speaking?” However, without spoiling the excitement, the coach advised him to wait. The speaker’s seat remained empty as dinner began. Suddenly, “the door opened and Tiger came in and sat down. Damn it. But what happened next surprised Steve by Woods returning to his seat and humorously saying, “Sorry, brother. I’m late.” My roommate had just finished building a computer, at which point Steve made a decision and jokingly said, “What should I do?” I’m worried about how my grades will go on my final English test in Connecticut.” The 82-time PGA Tour winner then apologized again, and the two had a heartfelt conversation. Steve from Stanford still cherishes this kind gesture from Woods, which is forever etched in his memory. For those who don’t know, Steve later captained the Stanford men’s golf team and was reportedly recruited by Tiger Woods, who had a successful golf career while attending Stanford University. The GOAT attended Stanford University from 1994 to 1996 and competed in NCAA golf for two seasons before leaving college to pursue a professional career. It’s an attractive story, but it’s not the first time that 15 winners 15 winners have shared something. Woods’ long -term shopping cart Joe Rakaba has also shared interesting stories in the past. At the 2019 Masters, during the 16th hole, the pro found himself in a delicate situation. The ball was positioned very close, about two and a half feet from the hole, and Woods was thinking about his putting strategy. Despite the feeling of despair, the experts looked at his shopping cart and asked for help. It was a late request, but Rakaba was not shy to provide her help. At that point, he instinctively spoke words of encouragement, saying, “Listen, pro. Send that thing into the hole. These few words were of great help to Woods at this crucial moment. The incident later became a cherished memory between the American golfer and his former caddie. These small moments in the GOAT’s life had a modest impact on the reputation he enjoys today.
