On FOX News, author Rick Mc Daniel analyzed Tiger Woods's comeback. For him, this was the second return of the "super tigers".
The first time in 6 years when Tiger Woods won 5 championships and was voted PGA's "Best Golfplayer of the Year". However, he did not have any major titles in 2013. Before that, he had to spend 3 consecutive years without winning any PGA tournament.
The most significant incident at that time was his infidelity in marriage, forcing him to divorce his wife. He also suffered many injuries, including a serious knee injury.
Currently, Tiger Woods has the 15th major title of his career, only behind legend Jack Nicklaus (18 titles). The 2019 Masters championship also helped him only be behind the record of the "Golden bear" having won the championship in this tournament once. His fans had to wait up to 5117 days to see Tiger Woods once again win glory at Augusta Stadium.
His comeback began in September when he won the final tournament of the 2017-2023 season - TOUR Championship. That was also his first title since the 2013 WGC Bridgestone tournament.
Now, Tiger Woods has won 81 PGA Tour events, just one time less than the leader Sam Snead.
Many experts predicted that the "super tigers" would not win any tournaments and they knew they were wrong in September 2018. Many people also say Tiger Woods has not won any major tournaments anymore and they continue to be wrong.
So how did he get back like that when he had to undergo 4 surgeries on his back, including surgery to connect the spine?
Tiger had many uncomfortable days traveling. He doesn't even know if he can play golf anymore, let alone win a tournament.
Escaping from the livelihood regime
Tiger Woods has used many painkillers to deal with back injuries. He spends a lot of time playing video games because he can't do anything else.
He understood that he had to act. After 4 different surgeries on his back, he still has pain. As a result, after a party for the champions of The Masters two years ago, Tiger Woods arrived in England.
Surgery to connect the spine was performed. It took him 6 months to recover but he has escaped from the mode of survival to get back into the game.
Find motivation
Tiger has never been without motivation. 2 years ago, he told a few people in private that he was returning to golf. His simple hopes were simply starting with playing golf with his children.
However, 18 months ago, he started to have real swing shots on the golf course. He has seen a group of young golfers reach the pinnacle of the sport for several years. They respected him but were not afraid.
Only 3% of golfers aged 43 like Tiger Woods have won a major tournament. He wanted to prove many people wrong and he did it.
Perhaps Tiger Woods's biggest motivation is his children. They have never seen their father win a major or heard the crowd call out the name Tiger Woods. He wanted them to experience that feeling. Now, Tiger's children understand this feeling.
Restore confidence
Confidence is your expectation of success and the source of strength that motivates you to return to the game. Confidence also helps you take advantage of opportunities and always come up with new opportunities.
This comeback of Tiger Woods really started in the summer of 2018 at The Britsh Open. In that arena, he rose to the top of the rankings of a major tournament for the first time in many years.
Then, in the PGA Championship, he lost 64 sticks to complete the final round. That was the least stick he had ever won a major in his career.
In September, he won his first championship in 5 years with the TOUR Championship title. This year, you have a chance to see Tiger Woods's confidence grow. He entered the Masters event believing he could win.
Tiger Woods's comeback this time is not over yet. He could also break the record for the number of PGA Tour titles that Sam Snead holds. Who knows, he will win many more major titles, even in one tournament this year.
Tiger Woods will do it because he is doing what you have to do to make a comeback whether in golf or in real life.
