It is quite exciting to see two legends play together. But when they’re legends from different sports, it gets even more exhilarating. The GOAT, Tiger Woods, has played alongside many legends from many different sports. Woods has played with NBA superstar Michael Jordan. And in 2016, Woods was also spotted on the course with the legendary MLB shortstop, Derek Jeter.

Woods is one of the best players to ever play golf, and it is not surprising at all that he is someone people come to for advice or to improve their game, or in some cases just for the competition.
Tiger Woods and Derek Jeter’s friendship
Woods and Jeter have been friends since the 1990s. They are often seen hanging out together, and at times they have been photographed together in clubs as well. Despite being friends for decades, the first time Derek Jeter and Tiger Woods played golf together was in the Bahamas, late in November of 2016.

Woods said that Jeter was determined and quite focused, saying, “I had talked with guys who had played with him when he first started, and they said he was spraying it around. But now he’s focused.” Woods went on to say that Jeter was addicted to the sport and that he did whatever he could to improve. He said, “He’s addicted to playing golf now,” and went on to add, “He likes to practice, likes to play. He does his fitting.”
