There is rarely anyone who dedicated more time to a sport than Derek Jeter. A five-time World Series champion, the former New York Yankee captain lived and breathed baseball. During the 20 seasons he played in MLB, Jeter became known for his competitive nature. While it’s a given for any athlete in any sport, the former shortstop became particularly famous for it. That nature led the Yankees to many victories and characterized his tenure as captain.

When he retired from baseball, Jeter didn’t entirely give up that side of him. With an avid interest in golf, he took his zeal to the greens. Jeter is friends with legendary golfer Tiger Woods and plays the sport at his annual Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational golf tournament. As such, the Hall of Famer gets to witness various individuals play, whether they’re athletes or not. And he recently revealed that he enjoys watching them struggle!
