There is a reason why Tiger Woods is called the best in the game. The level of skills and techniques that were displayed by the golfer on the course enabled him to garner the numerous accolades that he has now. However, he’s still a human at the end of the day, and pressure does get to the professional at times.

However, the manner in which he dealt with the rising tensions on the greens is what kept him apart all these years. The Hall of Famer graciously went ahead to reveal one of the “simple” secrets behind his success at the events, especially the majors. And, the fans couldn’t get enough!

Tiger Woods’ recipe for his 27 years of success

Athletes like Woods, who has a total of 82 PGA Tour wins, including 15 majors to his name, are rare in the sporting world. Most of his big victories on the greens can be traced down to an important shot that was made during a vital part of the game. And, as a result of the same, stress can arise in such situations.

A video was uploaded by TaylorMade Golf on their Instagram handle which showed a young fan asking the pro about how he “handles the pressure.” The 47-year-old, to the question, revealed how he makes his “practices that intense.” Adding on, the 15X major champ divulged how he keeps a “little bit of window” during his practice sessions where he enacts the role of a commentator or creates a situation as if the athlete is actually in the midst of an important game. He mentioned how “stirring up emotions” that he would feel during an important moment helped him face the same when it came.
