And and where the injuries connected to the mental side of things, what's going on with his life and his and his and his mind.

And who knows if there's anything in that story?

But yeah, you're right.

Like a lot of the 2010s was just watching Tiger having to withdraw from tournaments because his back was sore and like being driven in a cart and, you know, to the car park in round one.

And yeah, Tiger, his glutes didn't activate again.

He's having more injury upon injury and telling people I'm finished.

And then that's why 2019 was so insane.

Yeah, you're right, though, like a lot of a lot of his career, all his 30s and all his 40s have been like watching with your hands over your eyes almost.

yeah yeah he's just but he's very unknowable isn't he still like he has he's never given up himself like you can read the Hank Haney book I was just flicking through some of the stories in it some of them I can't even just repeat because I just I don't know legally where I am you know what I mean but even it's small things he put in and you'd love to know if this stuff is true but like so this is Hank Haney his coach for a number of years

And Hank Haney was writing how like they'd go to restaurants and he said once Tiger would finish his dinner at the restaurant, even when he's with his wife, he would get up and leave without a word and expect everyone just to follow, even if they were still eating.

When he was done and he ate habitually fast, you were done, Haney recalls.

And Haney said, well, Haney says that when they got fast food at the house, you know, if he was on a training stint with Woods, Haney would always have to pick up the tab.

He seemed to think it was funny to be cheap.

I remember Haney complaining that like Woods would go to the kitchen when he's playing his video games.

get one ice pop come back and sit back down beside Haynie and just keep playing this video not say do you want one too it's full of these like these anecdotes and you're like is this true is this is this fair to like that's too detailed to not be true could you make that up like yeah so easy just to with woods it's like there's so much fact and probably a fair degree of fiction and a lot of layers you know complex childhood complex parents yeah

And now, yeah, 50.

It's wild.

Like, it is funny.

Like, you think of the iconic moments in 97, his dad's there to hug him.

In 2019, a lot of people suddenly thought it was strange not to see his dad hugging him, but his mum was very much there.
