Woods has come a long way with many milestones that landed him in the Hall of Fame too. Despite the dark phases of his life, he did not stop working towards his goal. Yes, he took a break, or the injuries forced him to take a break, but he has always risen stronger than before. There is no stopping him. And that same training he is giving to his son, who has been focused on golf under the guidance of his father.

Every athlete has a secret to success, and Woods’ secret was revealed by his ex-coach once. It might leave you surprised; however, it made sense. Let’s unveil it.

What Harmon said about Tiger Woods?

Harmon spoke to top fellow coach Claude, who was also his son, on Instagram. He revealed the secret of Woods‘ success in 2020. His attitude and arrogance were the only reason he could win 15 major championships, along with a record 82 times on the PGA Tour. According to Harmon, who coached the golfer between 1993 and 2003, “You absolutely need a streak of arrogance to be a great champion, to be the best at what you do.”

He further called Woods “p***k” and said he was the number one golfer “because he’s an arrogant p***k.” And it was not just Woods he talked about, but another pro, too. According to him, even Jack Nicklaus was the same. When the pro and greatest golfer, Nicklaus, stepped up to the tee, they turned into arrogant people. Talking further about the former number one golfer, Woods, he said that the golfer could cut the heart out with his ice-cold attitude.

However, he does not despise the G.O.A.T. for having that attitude, nor it affected their relationship. Woods and Harmon used to go out, have dinner together, and then have some beers. But when it came to hitting golf balls, Woods was always the serious one who did not joke around on the golf course. And therefore, he became the greatest golfer of all time. According to Harmon, even Nicklaus has that arrogance; however, one can never tell by his demeanor.
