Tiger and his father, Earl Woods, shared a special bond. The World Golf Hall of Fame member’s father would accompany Woods to every event, and the duo would cherish every moment with each other
Williams spoke about it in one of the episodes of the podcast, Chasing Majors. He also talked about how Tiger forced himself to win at the 2006 Masters because it was possibly the last time his father might see him play.
Steve said “And he and you know, he knew that was possibly going to be the last time that his father would see him play the major championship, and he just sort of instead of trying to let it happen, he’s trying to make it happen. So making some, you know, uncharacteristically bold errors.
Steve’s words prove how much Woods Tiger wanted to win at the major championship event. On top of that, it also shows how much it meant to Woods when his father would watch him play at events.
