The injuries have ruined the latter part of Tiger Woods’ career.
Henrik Stenson once made the entire golf world laugh – with the most unexpected words about all the icon’s problems.
Tiger Woods broke through with a bang in 1997, when he completely slaughtered the opposition at the fabled Augusta National, during the Masters. In the years that followed, Woods was dominant on a level golf had never seen before, and for a long time he was one of the world’s most famous people.
Tiger’s boot
Although Tiger Woods is not the person in golf history with the most major wins, there are many who classify him as the greatest of all time. However, the latter part of Wood’s career has been marred by problems outside of golf and injuries. Once Tiger Woods was asked who is the most fun to play with, and then an unexpected pass came to a certain Swede.
Henrik Stenson, who today plays on the LIV tour, has throughout his career often been called the funnest player on the tour. But Tiger Woods said, in a 2019 interview, that he was not impressed.
– I know a person who thinks he’s funny all the time, but I don’t think he is. It’s Stenson. He makes three or four dry jokes a day, Tiger said.
Excellent answer
But the answer didn’t let Stenson wait – and that in the form of a neat boot about Tiger Woods’ injuries.
– Many of his injuries in recent years are rib injuries after he has laughed so much at my jokes. So I hope he can get it right soon, Stenson said, causing the entire golf world to laugh out loud.
But jokes aside, Tiger Woods has always had great respect for Stenson, who is still Sweden’s only major winner on the men’s side. And precisely Stenson’s sense of humor is something that Tiger has always appreciated.
– I have played a lot with him in recent years and Henrik is a fantastic guy. He is very fun to play with. He has a very dry sense of humor and is always cracking jokes all day long. We’ve always gotten along well, Woods said in an interview in 2014.
