The two even brushed upon the GOAT subject, where Wade asked Woods if he was comfortable with being called a GOAT. “I’m not the GOAT,” Woods said, adding that he does not think he is there yet. According to the 45-year-old, he cannot be the GOAT as he is still not done and has a lot more to give.

Wade certainly seems to have taken to golf, probably picking it up as a regular hobby.
