Tiger Woods\’ one regret will surprise fans after wild life away from golf course
Tiger Woods has been open about his life in the past, and the golfing great admitted he has just one regret when reflecting on his incredible career and the challenges he has faced
Tiger Woods has opened up about his life\’s only regret – and it\’s a far cry from what fans might expect.
Despite a glittering 28-year career that saw him become the youngest Masters champion in history and claim 15 major titles, the 48 year old superstar from California wishes he had delayed turning professional. In an intimate conversation with CBS Sports, Woods reflected on his decision to leave Stanford University early, saying, “The only thing I regret in life is not spending another year at Stanford, and I wish I had.”
When asked by the interviewer if that was truly his biggest regret, given everything he’s been through on and off the course, Woods said, “It’s all that and everything.” The revelation comes despite a high-profile personal scandal that has rocked his career, with Woods admitting to numerous infidelities during his marriage to Elin Nordegren, resulting in the loss of several lucrative endorsement deals.
Woods previously admitted, “I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. “What I did is unacceptable” – after his personal misdeeds are revealed

In an interview with CBS, the reporter continued, “I’m not sure if I would have liked to have spent another year at Stanford, even though it was tough, but it was great for me.”
The golf sensation went on to attend the prestigious university on a golf scholarship in 1994, and went on to win the William H. Tucker Invitational in September. He chose economics as his major and excelled academically as well as on the greens during his two years, becoming a representative for the Stanford University men’s golf team. During his brief but illustrious college career, Woods tied the record with 11 tournament wins. Woods fondly recalled his time on the Stanford golf team, saying: » Just practice, games, qualifying. It was always fun being together. What sets Stanford apart is the combination of quality athletics with an unmatched educational experience.
\”Our Provost was Condeleeza Rice. My economics professor was one of President Clinton’s advisors. You don’t see that in most schools. It was intellectually stimulating to be constantly challenged. I never had a chance to compete with some of these people. They were very intelligent: one kid had a photographic memory, another built a computer from scratch. »
