Tiger Woods lauded Anirban’s talent potential and said, “Anirban, I am sure will be a part of the Olympics and he will be great and hopefully he wins”. I don’t think I’ll ever be 100 per cent healthy, but as close as you can to that point, that would be nice.

In a rare peek into his personal world published online Thursday, Woods told Time that, “With all my heart, I do not want to stop playing golf”. Having the relationship that I have now with her is fantastic. But if it does, it does. “I’ve reconciled myself to it”. “And I walk some more”. “I can’t imagine not being able to do that as I get older”.
Tiger Woods has spoken candidly about his failed marriage to ex-wife Elin Nordegren and how he explained the split to his two children. They were married from 2004 until 2010, months after his infidelity with multiple mistresses led to divorce.
“She’s one of my best friends”, Woods said of Nordegren. Woods says that they call each other and talk on the phone frequently. We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids. He has not started rehabilitation and does not know when his back will allow for that.
“I’ve taken the initiative with the kids, and told them up front, ‘Guys, the reason why we’re not in the same house, why we don’t live under the same roof, Mommy and Daddy, is because Daddy made some mistakes, ‘” he said.
American professional golfer Tiger Woods said in a recent interview that he may be retiring from the sport to be a full-time dad to his two kids. “It just depends on how the nerve heals and how it settles”, he said.
“One, I don’t want to have another procedure”, Woods told the magazine.
“That’s a hard mind-set to go through”.
Woods said he had another procedure on October 28 on the same area due to discomfort.
Nicklaus stayed at the top of golf’s pyramid for over 25 years, famously winning his final major, the Masters in 1986, at the age of 46, so time is still on Woods’ side in his opinion. Woods endured leg injuries in 2011, got back to No. 1 in the world with eight victories in 2012 and 2013 and has been in a free fall because of back injuries since.
“I have to get healthy in order to do it, though”, he said.
“For my 20 years out here I think I’ve achieved a lot, and if that’s all it entails, then I’ve had a pretty good run”.
“I’ve always believed that I can compete with the best players in the world”.

Another feature this year is the number of young guns in the field with as many as seven of the 18 invitees in their twenties including Spieth, Patrick Reed, Jimmy Walker, Brooks Kopeka, J.B. Holmes and Lahiri. Four knees, three backs, that’s enough. That’s more important than golf. He did it ahead of the two reading about the scandal on the internet or being told by their friends when they grow older. But I realized I don’t have to do a lot of them.
