“The Only Reason I Teed Up”: Tiger Woods Drops a Truth Bomb After His Powerful Comeback at Riviera

Tiger Woods made birdies fly all over the grounds of Riviera Golf Course. Unlike the last few times, the fans didn’t have to leave in disappointed. Woods fulfilled everyone’s expectations by carding birdies after birdies. It mesmerized fans when they saw the legendary golfer in action. But it was only the first day of the event, and tables could turn eventually. Is the former number-one golfer ready to win or not? He expressed his motives on Thursday after the round.

What are the intentions of Tiger Woods with the Genesis Invitational?

During a flash interview, a reporter pointed out that he plays to win, which Woods had said before competing this week. He reminded the golfer, “you don’t play unless you think you can win.” But the interesting question was whether he had the same intention with the Riviera Golf Course event.

Without delay, Woods replied, “absolutely, that’s the only reason I teed up.” However, the pro golfer does not have unrealistic expectations. He understands the truth of life. Woods explained his state of mind and said, “there’ll come a point in time when I can’t do this anymore,” but currently, he feels he can. It is incredible that the pro is aware of his capabilities, and therefore, he can exploit them.

However, he further explained the benefits of a good golf course and why he could play well today. The PGA Tour pro said that he could play well as his pairings Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas only because the golf course allowed them. Otherwise, Woods would have faced issues.

Therefore, his skills and the golf course allowed him to card beautiful shots. The GOAT is well aware of his capabilities and knows where he can fail. He said, “if I had to play against him like Rory or JT when it was wet, and they did, they could bomb a 320.” But that would not be the case for Woods. However, yesterday, he surpassed both of them at times, making the FedEx Cup champion find the 15-time major champion intimidating.
