Tiger Woods Early learning

The early coach of Tiger Woods was his father. His father was a military man and as a result, Tiger Woods has received enough opportunity to play in professional military courses from the very early period of his life. At 2 years of age, Tiger played on a regulation course of 9 holes with a 36 par and Tiger finishes the course with 48 par stroke.

At 3 years of age, Tiger played his first tournament and the tournament was for kids under 10 years of age.

And freakingly, Tiger Woods won that tournament.

At the age of 11, Tiger Woods defeated his father for the first time and since then, his father never managed to win against him.

His father has made a real impact on the building of his career.

He was his coach and role model.

The death of his father was like a total shock to him.

He said, “I’ll never forget the lesson that (dad) told me. That year at the Masters, I tried to win it for him. I knew it was the last tournament he was ever going to watch me play. I need to win one for dad, so he can actually see this before he passes and I tried and I put too much pressure on myself and I went back to California after that to be with Pops and he (was like), ‘What the hell is wrong with you?’ And I said, ‘Well dad, I tried to win it for you.’ He said, ‘Haven’t I taught you anything in the game of golf? You do it for the inner joy that it brings, you don’t do it for anyone else.’ And (I was like), ‘Yeah, I took myself out of what you taught me.’ Looking back on this year, at the core of it all is that I wanted to do it again. I wanted to do it for myself that I could climb the mountain one more time.”
