‘An Awful Feeling’: A Sufferer Himself, Tiger Woods Wholeheartedly Sympathized With NBA Star Kevin Durant Following an Unfortunate Incident in 2019

Super Bowl is right around the corner, and Tiger Woods is one of the fans. And being an athlete, he has gone through the same experience any NBA player would. And that is why his words were sympathetic in 2019 when Kevin Durant got injured.

We are aware of the ordeals of the golfer and what he has been through regarding injury. His brutal car accident in February 2021 sent shockwaves among his fans. The former number-one golfer almost lost his right leg due to multiple fractures. He had to stay away from the golf course for 14 months to recover.

Woods was supposed to make his return to the Hero world challenge, but instead, he had to withdraw due to plantar fasciitis. The golfer and injury have had a long relationship, and he has suffered greatly. And that is why he could empathize with Durant and his injury. Therefore, his words were deeply sympathetic.

Tiger Woods lends his hands of sympathy to Kevin Durant

The former world’s best golfer surprisingly became gloomy when discussing the terrible, career-altering injury Kevin Durant sustained in Game 5 of the NBA Finals during a press conference on June 11, 2019, at Pebble Beach. He talked about how he felt ‘sad’ about Durant and how he has lived the same days as him.

Expressing his sympathy, Woods said, “It was sad.” Stating the similarity in every athlete, he said, “As athletes, we’ve all been there to that spot when you just know it, that something just went, and can’t move, can’t do much of anything.” He further added that every athlete has a sixth sense of their body. They know when something goes wrong and when it needs to rest a bit. The Major championship then went on to explain how Durant felt.

“You can see it on his face, how solemn his face went. He knows it when things pop. You just know.” As Woods has been through the same thing, he could feel it with the basketball player. The G.O.A.T. said, “And I’ve been there. I’ve had it to my own Achilles. I’ve had it to my own back. I know what it feels like. It’s an awful feeling. And no one can help you. That’s the hard part.” When Woods suffered a back injury, his daughter Sam thankfully saved him.
