The former New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter is the biggest name in the MLB’s modern history. He played for two decades and participated in five World Series-winning campaigns. He also claimed many personal awards and became the epitome of hard work and success. And even though he retired years back, the same principles continue to drive him to do well in his second most loved sport, golf.

Jeter has taken his dedication to the greens. He is working hard on his swings to get similar success to baseball. He continues to face some difficulties, which he opened up about in public. But this has not stopped Jeter from loving the game. And his annual invitational golf tournament is a prime example of it. But this was not the case. It was visible in his statement decades back.
