It’s difficult to imagine the dedicated, competitive former world number one loving anything more than the sport. But once, in an interview, Tiger said that he loved being around his family much more than he loved the sport. He said, “It’s all about them. Whatever they want to do, we do. When I don’t have them, I can practice a bit more, but when I’m around them, it’s all about them.”
