Tiger Woods said, “The history of the game is certainly something that I’ve taken to heart.

The 46-year-old also remembered Arnold Palmer and Bob Charles during his press conference. Woods believed that kids these days have access to mobile phones, which means they can gain access to the history of the game quite easily compared to the old days. But then the reporter asked the 15-time Major champion whether his son respects the game’s rich history.

Woods replied, “He does. He understands the history of the game because I make it important to understand where this game has come from and also his heritage, where he’s come from. He’s come from a very mixed background. So just understanding where you come from and understanding this game, how hard I had to work to get to where I was at. I had to earn it every step of the way.”

Tiger Woods ends by saying how nothing in life is easy and everything is earned the hard way. Moreover, he revealed how proud he is of his success. He said, “Nothing’s ever given to you. You have to go out there and earn it, and I earned it through the dirt. I’m very proud of that.”
