He guaranteed his spot in the World Golf Hall of Fame about a decade ago. Woods was almost untouched for most of his career as he spent years as the undisputed World Number one in PGA Official World Golf Rankings. His unrivaled list of achievements finally landed him in the World Golf Hall of Fame. In March this year, Woods accepted the honor. Speaking at the event, the legendary athlete spoke about his journey to the top. The 82-time PGA tour winner was introduced at the award ceremony by his daughter, Sam. Having received the honor, Tiger Woods went on to make his acceptance speech. Woods, who is not known for being a big talker, spoke for approximately 15 minutes. Intriguingly, Woods chose to share stories from his early days rather than boast about his 15 major triumphs. The ace golfer shared his favorite anecdotes and thanked the people closest to him.

The GOAT golfer lauded his parents, coaches and friends for backing him throughout his career. Making an emotional World Golf Hall of Fame acceptance speech, Woods said: “I had two amazing parents, amazing golf instructors, unbelievable caddies, friends that I had for a lifetime. I got to this position because of my upbringing, having two unbelievable parents. I didn’t get here alone. I know that golf is an individual sport. We do things on our own a lot, for hours on end. But in my case, I didn't get here alone.” He continued: “I had unbelievable parents, mentors, friends who allowed me and supported me in the toughest times, darkest of times and celebrated the highest of times…. This is an individual award, but this is teamwork. All of you allowed me to get here. That’s why I say thank you from the bottom of my heart." Woods also shed light on his mantra to success during the speech. The PGA champion revealed that he worked hard for his accolades. Speaking about his work ethic leading to success, Woods said: “I hit thousands of balls, hands bleeding, aching, just so that I could play in a tournament."
