Tiger Woods is undeniably one of the greatest golfers in history! He consolidated his legendary status on Wednesday evening during a ceremony, in the presence of his family. His eldest daughter Sam paid him a touching tribute.
Like rock’n’roll and basketball, golf also has its Hall Of Fame! Tiger Woods was registered there this Wednesday, March 9, 2022, under the eyes of his mother Kultida, his companion Erica and his two children, Sam and Charlie (14 and 12 years old, born from his previous marriage to Elin Nordegren). The eldest, Sam, spoke from the podium and gave a poignant speech for her dad, referring to his terrible car accident.
“Lately dad has been training harder than ever. You were in a hospital bed about a year ago. One of your biggest setbacks, one of the most terrifying moments of your life and ours. We didn’t know if you would come home with your two legs. Today, in addition to being registered in the Hall Of Fame, you are also there, standing on your two feetdeclared Sam Woods, in front of a very attentive audience. That’s why you deserve it. Because you are a fighter. You have always overcome obstacles, being the first black and Asian golfer to win a major trophy, winning your fifth Masters after several back operations, and being able to walk, only a few months after your accident.”
One sentence from the teenager touched Tiger Woods more than anything else: “I inducted you into the fathers hall of fame a long time ago.”
