“For you to keep winning is almost impossible,” Spade tells Woods, explaining how everyone on the Tour is so good.
Woods agreed, speaking about how the situation can also get stressful. “The stress of it all and also accepting that if things go wrong you have to figure it out. No one’s gonna bail you out. I feel like I’m never out of the fight. I am always trying to get better and trying to figure out how to succeed when things are tough. That’s why you have to want to be in that fight”.
