He loves fishing
When Woods is not busy hitting the driving range or designing a new course, he likes to go fishing. You can probably picture him swinging the fishing rod like a golf club and netting the biggest tuna. He says that fishing trips help him to relax and unwind from the pressures of competitive golf. If you would like to bump into the man during one of his fishing trips, his favorite spots include the Bahamas and Alaska.
He is a trained martial artist
It’s a bit obvious that when your father is a retired soldier and your mum has some Thai and Chinese genes in her, you must know a thing or two about how to fight. Woods didn’t disappoint in this regard and is an avid martial arts fan, particularly the practice of Muay Thai. He has trained in Muay Thai and likes to incorporate elements of it into his fitness routine.
He is a qualified pilot
With a name and pocket like Woods’, you can achieve almost anything you wish to in life. On top of owning a high-end private jet, he is a qualified and highly-skilled pilot who obtained his license in 2006. Woods is so passionate about flying that he has been known to fly himself to tournaments and other events.
He loves video games
Although it’s natural for an athlete of Woods’ stature to own a video game or two, he enjoys playing them. He partnered with EA Sports in 1999 to create the smash hit “Tiger Woods PGA Tour” video game series, which would later become one of the best-selling sports video game franchises of all time.
He struggled with stuttering and vision as a youngster
Stars are not born perfect, and Woods once joked that his vision could have been considered legally blind were it not for some corrective eye surgeries he underwent. It’s therefore a wonder how accurate the golfer is with his shots. Additionally, he also struggled with stuttering as a child and had to practice talking to his dog to overcome the problem.
Parting Shot
You probably thought you knew Tiger Woods inside out but there has to be a point or two above that caught you off-guard. After all, superstars are still human and also undergo the things that the rest of us do.
