Serena Williams also took time off her schedule to pay a visit to the Palm Beach Gardens in Florida. While she was at ease watching her friend Tiger Woods in action, her attempts at capturing him were anything but!
While cameras were strictly prohibited during a golf event then, Serena was seemingly unaware of the rule. While Woods was on the course, Williams tried to click a picture from her phone. She was promptly told to abstain by the security officials. Later, Serena took to Twitter to express her views regarding the incident.
Serena mentioned how advice from Tiger Woods felt ‘magical’. “He said, Serena, what if you just gave it two weeks? You don’t have to commit to anything. You just go out on the court every day for two weeks and give it your all and see what happens. I said, All right, I think I can do that.”
However, Williams mentioned she couldn’t follow Woods’ advice at first. “And I didn’t do it. But a month later, I gave it a try. And it felt magical to pick up a racket again. And I was good. I was really good.”
“When I first met Tiger, I honestly didn’t think we would be friends,” Serena said. " I was just honestly in awe with him. Like he is Tiger Woods. He was competing against everyone and he looked like me,” she further added.
