Pointing out Woods’ exit from the 2022 PGA event, Day mentioned, “I was talking to him at the end of last year, and then he was saying the reason why he pulled out of the PGA was a screw went through the skin on Saturday or whatever it was.”

The ex-golfer went ahead and appreciated Woods for being resilient. She mentioned that even if she gets a blister from her heel; she questions her ability to finish the round of golf.

Spiranac then continued to cherish Woods as a golfer and said that he operates differently, “It just shows you Tiger’s mental ability to fight through any adversity and he’s just not human. And I think if any normal human being was put through half of what Tiger was put through, I don’t think any of us would have survived not only just the physical pain but the surgeries, the personal issues, the conflict. I mean, emotionally and physically.” 

She also mentioned that one day she would like to analyze Woods’ brain to see how he actually operates because he is definitely built differently. “It would be fascinating to analyze it one day and see what’s going on up there because he just does not think the way that normal people think and he doesn’t feel pain or pressure and anything the same way that normal people feel it.”
