throughout Tiger Woods’ life, numerous stories about his career have come to light in the Woods began his professional
career in 1996 and now has over 25 years of experience in the field. Different stories emerge about him every day, but is this the only one? Of course not! Woods’ recent untold story involves an unexpected and interesting crossover between the 15-time Major champion and the famed SportsCenter commentator.
On the Sub-Par podcast on the Stanford Golf Channel YouTube channel, Steve recalled how he got hired.He began by saying: I’m off to make a hiring visit. It’s 1996. So, you know who’s there? He emphasized that he was sitting at a table with 15 other recruits, waiting for a 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 asked impatiently, “Who’s speaking?” However, rather than spoil the excitement, the coach advised him to wait. The president’s seat remained vacant at the time the dinner began. Suddenly, “the door opened and Tiger came in and sat down. Shit.
However, what happened next time was surprising to Steve Woods and returned to his place and said in humor. “I’m sorry, my brother. I’m late. I’m worried about how my grades will be my last test with Connecticut.” Steve, a Stanford native, still remembers this kind gesture from Woods and it has stayed with him forever. For those who don’t know, Steve was captain of the Stanford University men’s golf team and was reportedly scouted by Tiger Woods, who went on to have success in golf while at Stanford.
The GOAT attended Stanford University from 1994 to 1996 and played two seasons of NCAA golf before dropping out of college to pursue a professional career. It’s a fascinating story, but it’s not the first time the 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 very close, about two and a half feet from the hole, and Woods was contemplating his putting strategy.
Despite their desperation, the experts looked at his basket and asked for help. Although it was a late request, Mr. Lacaba did not hesitate to cooperate. At that moment, he couldn’t help but offer words of encouragement: “Listen up, pro. Do your best.” Send it into the hole. Those few words helped Woods immensely in that 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.
