Does Tiger Woods’ Winning Mindset Make Him Better Than Others?

The old video of 82-time PGA Tour winner Tiger Woods resurfaced on Instagram. Tiger can be seen seated on a chair, wearing a black sweatshirt, and talking about the importance of a player’s mindset.

Tiger confessed in the video: “My mindset is simple every tournament I enter, I enter to get that win.” He questioned: why should one even enter and play an event they don’t aspire to win? He also said that initially, when he came out with this ideology, many of the tour players looked at him as if he wasn’t making sense.

He gave the analogy of football, saying no team goes into the football field praying to be second. “[His winning mentality] Rubbed a lot of tour players the wrong way,” he said. He subsequently followed it up with another example of boxing, saying no boxer goes in the ring without the desire for a win.

The 47-year-old went on to acknowledge the fact that in the sport of golf, failure comes more often than success. He pointed out that his winning percentage was close to 24 to 25% which translated to him losing 2 to 3 quarters of the times. But he does not let these numbers and this ratio get to his mind. He keeps his mindset simple; he knows if he’s playing an event, the ultimate motive is to win.
