Are you kidding me? What am I going to do, go bass fishing? No. Prior to that, when I didn’t have kids, it would never enter my mind. One, the kids were still young, they weren’t into as many things. You may not have realized that a few years ago? The most important thing, though, is that I get to have a life with my kids. It’s tough as athletes, when you just don’t know. I’ve talked to Peyton about his neck and what he’s going through. What’s it like when you contemplate the possibility that you’re not going to be able to play again?Īnyone I’ve ever talked to who has had procedures like I’ve had, they say the same thing: you don’t know.
Can you go tell the guys inside to try and get the cart out, to help me back up?” She says, “What’s wrong?” I said, “My back’s not doing very good.” She says, “Again?” I say, “Yes, again, Sam. She came out and said, “Daddy, what are you doing lying on the ground?” I said, “Sam, thank goodness you’re here. Well, thank God my daughter’s a daddy’s girl and she always wants to hang out. I was out there practicing and I end up on the ground and I couldn’t call anybody and I couldn’t move. I hit a flop shot over the bunker, and it just hit the nerve. I’ll never forget when I really hurt my back and it was close to being done, I was practicing out back at my house.
I started to lose that with the other surgeries.īecause you couldn’t do things with them? And two, even if I don’t come back and I don’t play again, I still want to have a quality of life with my kids. I know that, one, I don’t want to have another procedure. I’ve learned a little bit of it, I think. For a guy who likes to work, that’s a hard concept for me to understand. Now I had to rethink it, and say, O.K., my goal is to do nothing today. And that’s a hard mind-set to go through. It’s always on mute and I have some other game on another TV.ĭo you have any recovery goals? With past injuries, you have.Ībsolutely. Unless one of my friends has a chance to win, then I like watching it. I can’t remember the last time I watched golf. Then I come back home and lie back down on the couch, or a bed. Where are you right now with your recovery?
#Tiger woods has gone home from tv
With a bag of ice on his back, Woods talked about his desire to keep playing, his relationship with his ex-wife, why he and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn broke up, the highs and lows of his career on the course and his feelings about watching golf on TV (“I can’t stand it”). Ahead of that milestone, Woods sat down for a rare one-on-one interview with TIME at his restaurant in Jupiter, Fla. Now, Woods is facing the very real possibility that his record-setting career will be over by the time he turns 40 on Dec. His recent comeback attempts have been derailed by injuries.
