Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods are three of the biggest sports personalities in the sporting world. All three of them have achieved the pinnacle in their respective sports. But unlike Jeter and Jordan, Tiger Woods was a bit shy in nature when it was about girls.

But thankfully, the golf legend had a great couple of friends who were the best in this business. Yes! The New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter and the NBA icon Michael Jordan saved Woods and gave him some confidence to talk to girls.

Talking about their game, the three have ruled an era in American sports. Their global identity also helped baseball, basketball, and golf to grow their audience outside America. Such was their dominance in American sports.
