Golf journalist Lorne Rubenstein sits down with Tiger Woods at Woods own restaurant for a rare one-on-one interview. In an intimate and open interview, Tiger talks about his role as a family man, career, physical recovery and what lies ahead.
You've used the term "full throttle" to describe your approach, even in 2008 at the U.S. Open when you were in such pain.
From the very first shot, the first hole, you have to be that way. It's one of the things I was trying to teach Jason Day this year. The first hole is just as important as the last hole, and every shot is exactly the same. So you have the same intent, the same intensity. Nothing changes.
The first tee shot at the Masters is the same as the last?
I am grinding just as hard. So if I have that mentality, I get so worn out mentally, because I'm grinding that hard. Golf is, what, five hours? You're trying to tell me that I can't go out there and focus that hard for five hours, when I've got 19 other hours to recover? That's how I look at it. So I'm going to give it absolutely everything I can, everything I have, for this five-hour window. Let's go. After that, hey, we're done.
