Tiger Woods sends 4 AM texts from the gym, urging PGA Tour stars to strive for success
Tiger Woods is back in action and he is not holding back. The legendary golfer, with 82 PGA Tour wins under his belt, has been putting in the work in the gym at 4:00am, even before his official return, following ankle surgery and a lengthy recovery.
Motivated to see if other players are putting in the same level of effort, Woods reportedly sent early morning texts to four golfers, asking them, I’m in the gym. What are you doing to get better?, according to Brandel Chamblee.
Woods’ hard work seems to be paying off. On his return to the sport, he impressed spectators with a powerful 326-feet shot and later birdied a hole with an incredible 28-foot putt. At the time of writing, he was even through nine holes, securing him a spot at T10.
But why is the 47-year-old golfer pushing so hard, despite not being a regular competitor on Tour? He answered simply, stating, I love competing. I love playing. I miss being out here with the guys. I miss the camaraderie and the fraternity-like atmosphere out here, and the overall banter. But what drives me is I love to compete. There will come a point in time, I haven’t come around to it fully yet, that I won’t be able to win again. When that day comes, I’ll walk.
Woods reveals that he has also thought about getting one more win, which would mark his 83rd win on Tour, surpassing Sam Snead’s record. Additionally, he has 15 Major wins, and according to Fred Couples, he is more than capable of winning the upcoming Masters tournament. Woods has already won the Masters five times, the second-most in history, and he needs two more wins to surpass Jack Nicklaus’ record at the Masters. The record for the most PGA Tour wins also seems within his reach.
Despite his lengthy absence due to ankle surgery, Tiger Woods shows no signs of rust. His return at the Hero World Challenge is proving successful. Moreover, he believes he is now healthy enough to handle monthly tournaments, a significant improvement from last year when he struggled with the physical demands of an 18-hole course. Woods plans to compete in Majors and some regular tournaments, with a particular focus on the PLAYERS Championship and the Genesis Invitational.
At 47 years old and with a history of injuries, Tiger Woods’ dedication to his comeback is remarkable. His work in the gym and on the course demonstrates his commitment to the sport. As he gears up for regular activity once again, golf fans can’t help but be excited by the prospect of witnessing his impressive skills on display.
In conclusion, Tiger Woods is back and he’s not holding back. The golfing legend’s dedication to his comeback is evident in his early morning workouts and impressive performances. As he vies for more wins, including a potential 83rd on the PGA Tour and a record-breaking Masters victory, Woods’ return to the sport is a testament to his unwavering love for competition and his relentless pursuit of success.
