Mike Tyson Brings Up Tiger Woods’ Savagery From the Past

Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has had an illustrious boxing career. Now the retired athlete involves himself in several activities, and most prominent of them being his podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. Recently a guest appeared on the podcast who revealed that he is just one second away from becoming as good as Tiger Woods in golf. 

The latest episode of the podcast featured American actor and stand-up comedian, David Spade. As the episode progressed, Spade mentioned, “Tiger woods, I did a quick round of golf with him. I golf pretty good, I’m in the middle, but I’ve realized my theory is, he’s one second better than me. Hear me out, so I can pull up to the cart like he did. I can practice swing like he does, about the same, we are both about the same. Put the tee down, look, feel for the wind hit my cleats, practice wiggle. It’s that one second where you swing and hit it, is where he jumps ahead. But the rest of it, I have it nailed.”  

Mike Tyson further added, “He broke his ankle or something and still won a tournament. There’s a guy says, hey let’s just call it a day. He said, fu** you, I’m winning this.”

Apparently, the American actor feels that he does everything Tiger Woods does, but when the time comes to swing and hit, that is when Woods outclasses him. Following this, Tyson mentioned an incident when the legendary Tiger Woods won a tournament with a broken ankle.

Tiger Woods’ father used to take him to the Torrey Pines when he was a kid. Who knew the little kid grow up and own the course like no other golf player did? Woods had an emotional attachment with the 7,603-yard course.

The legend had two stress fractures, and a torn ACL in his left knee. The champ prevailed over all of his opponents and won the 2008 U.S. Open. It was a magical moment in the history of golf because nothing like that happened before.
