Tiger Woods’ game in 1990

The video that is being loved so much by the fans is from the year 1990. Woods always had a sense of maturity in his thoughts and in what he spoke publicly.

Retired army colonel and Tiger’s first golf coach, Rudy Duran, described young Woods as a kid that is “not exceptional” and said, “He’s way beyond that”.

The 15-time Major winner has been a gifted golfer ever since his childhood. At the young age of 14, he not only drove a golf ball to 265 yards but also shot a seven-under-par 63.

His father once proudly mentioned in an interview that he used to tee up the ball for Tiger on all his shots, but Woods simply holed out every putt.

“Before we get ahead of ourselves, which is hard not to do with Tiger Woods, return with us now to yesterday, when the young man was only 14 and the dream was still new. – Jerry Tarde”

Dreams have no age for Woods

Woods was ranked America’s third-best junior amateur in the year 1990, The golf genius has been a shining star in the United States’ golf community. He had massive dreams from the beginning of his career as a golfer.

The champion’s confidence has played an essential role in his journey. In his teen years, Tiger once quoted, “The game has never seemed hard, I don’t know why, but I’ve always been good.”

“That’s what I want,” young Tiger says, “I want to be the next dominant player. I want to go to college, turn pro and tear it up on the tour. I want to win more majors than anybody ever has.”

Even before the age of 14, Woods was noticeably on his way to being a professional golfer. It was clear when he shot 48 for nine holes near his house at the Navy Golf Club.
