00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,580
The following is a presentation
of HBO SPORTS.
2
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:30,460
MOUNTAIN WARFARE
TRAINING CENTER
3
00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:32,180
LA POSTA, CA
4
00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:36,820
25 days after Tiger Woods
buried his father, Earl,
5
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:39,220
he went to a military base
6
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,540
where SEALs practice
mountain warfare.
7
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:53,940
A petty officer working
with Tiger asked him,
8
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:58,020
"Why is the greatest golfer running
around playing G.I. Joe?"
9
00:01:58,340 --> 00:02:00,980
And Tiger Woods looked at him
and said, "My dad."
10
00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:05,340
Without his father,
11
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:09,620
Tiger was left with
an Earl-Woods-sized hole in his life,
12
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:13,300
and would spend the next few years
searching for something.
13
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:20,260
I don't think Tiger Woods
even knows what he wanted to find.
14
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:26,380
TIGER
15
00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:29,420
Tiger! Tiger!
16
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:32,540
2007 PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
17
00:02:32,660 --> 00:02:34,540
SOUTHERN HILLS
COUNTRY CLUB, OK
18
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:36,460
And from Windermere, Florida,
19
00:02:36,580 --> 00:02:43,260
the 1999, 2000, and 2006
PGA Champion, Tiger Woods.
20
00:02:46,260 --> 00:02:47,740
Get in the hole!
21
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:51,020
He hammered it
down the middle with a cut.
22
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:52,980
What a tee shot.
23
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:55,820
Just belt the living daylights
out of it.
24
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,580
A number of months
after Earl's passing,
25
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:05,980
Tiger appeared to be in a very,
very good frame of mind.
26
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:09,220
He was at the pinnacle
of his sport,
27
00:03:09,340 --> 00:03:12,020
and he had
this aura of invincibility.
28
00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:14,940
Tiger is just a shot away...
29
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:19,180
- On his way to his own...
- ...his own universe.
30
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:20,860
Exactly.
31
00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:28,100
His 13th major.
32
00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:32,820
It's like sometimes
these golfing gods are just...
33
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,060
They seem to be
on his shoulders.
34
00:03:41,660 --> 00:03:45,620
But in reality,
at that point in time,
35
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:49,820
being Tiger Woods had taken
its toll on Tiger Woods.
36
00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:52,700
Tiger Woods,
ladies and gentlemen.
37
00:03:55,420 --> 00:03:56,780
He said to me one time,
38
00:03:56,860 --> 00:04:00,260
"Stevie, you know, you become
this global sporting icon,
39
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:04,060
and you're representing
all these different brands.
40
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:06,340
Sometimes you feel
you just can't be yourself
41
00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:08,420
'cause you've got so many people
depending on you,
42
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:12,540
so many people watching you,
so many people are invested in you."
43
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:14,140
This is weird.
44
00:04:14,260 --> 00:04:17,500
- You're used to this, aren't you?
- You never get used to this.
45
00:04:18,580 --> 00:04:22,060
He is widely considered to be the
greatest golfer to ever play the game.
46
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:24,060
Please welcome Tiger Woods.
47
00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:33,500
Do you ever get sick of it?
You don't get sick of it.
48
00:04:33,580 --> 00:04:35,500
It's nice, wherever you go,
people go crazy.
49
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:37,420
It's nice they're all like that
50
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,140
because I'm certainly one
who's not really comfortable with it.
51
00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:44,100
Very rarely is there a photograph
of you in your private life.
52
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:47,660
I thought, this guy must have
a bat cave, you have an alter ego.
53
00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:48,940
You can play...
54
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:51,020
- That's good.
- It is good.
55
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,620
I think he just wanted
at some point in time,
56
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:57,380
break all those ties,
get away from that,
57
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,380
go and do something
completely different,
58
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:01,780
and it was like hitting
a reset button.
59
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:23,820
The allure of Las Vegas
is that feeling you can escape.
60
00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:30,260
People leave their morals
at the airport,
61
00:05:30,340 --> 00:05:32,260
and pick them up
when they leave.
62
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:39,100
And as soon as you hit that tarmac,
everything is at your disposal.
63
00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:41,100
Tiger. This way, please.
64
00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:45,900
We catered to Tiger.
We spoiled him.
65
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:50,620
We would say,
"You're like a prince,
66
00:05:50,740 --> 00:05:54,100
and basically,
free to do whatever you want."
67
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:00,580
- Tiger Woods, what's up, man?
- What's going on, man?
68
00:06:01,420 --> 00:06:05,780
Tiger's two running buddies in Vegas,
Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley,
69
00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:08,660
they both enjoyed the good life.
70
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:15,180
The nightclubs, the bottle service.
71
00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:19,460
Women are literally throwing
themselves at them.
72
00:06:19,540 --> 00:06:21,100
Michael!
73
00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:25,500
In that entourage,
Tiger was a bit of a geek.
74
00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:28,380
- Tiger, look right over here.
- Tiger, this way please.
75
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:32,540
It wasn't like he was
like Mack Daddy, like Casanova.
76
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:38,060
Those guys really didn't have to be.
Their hosts did all the work.
77
00:06:39,540 --> 00:06:43,180
We would pick out the pretty girls
and say,
78
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,940
"Hi, would you like to go up
and party with Michael Jordan?"
79
00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:52,380
Tiger asked, "What do I say
to these women?"
80
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,060
And Michael,
to his ever-loving credit, goes,
81
00:06:57,140 --> 00:06:59,180
"You tell 'em you're Tiger Woods."
82
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:02,980
Come on, Tiger Woods.
Yeah, you're the president, ha?
83
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:12,140
I heard rumors of sexual encounters,
84
00:07:12,220 --> 00:07:16,580
and I remember thinking,
"Wow, he's a man full of secrets."
85
00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:23,340
But we all kept our mouths shut.
I know I did.
86
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:30,220
We made him feel so safe,
87
00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:34,060
like nobody's going to tell.
88
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:42,140
This was Tiger Woods unchained
from the history of his childhood.
89
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:47,060
Unchained from pronouncements
about being The Chosen One.
90
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:49,420
It was Tiger Woods
91
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:54,260
unchained from being
a hundred-million dollar-a-year brand.
92
00:07:55,500 --> 00:08:00,180
And so time and time and time again,
he would return to Vegas.
93
00:08:00,820 --> 00:08:04,620
And even
after he got married to Elin,
94
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:07,020
Tiger didn't really slow down.
95
00:08:09,340 --> 00:08:14,140
His ability to live a double life,
96
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:16,780
it started in Vegas.
97
00:08:19,940 --> 00:08:21,580
We caught up with Tiger
outside Las Vegas
98
00:08:21,660 --> 00:08:24,780
on what was the coldest day there
in more than five years.
99
00:08:24,860 --> 00:08:27,580
Woods was on a set of his latest
commercial for Nike Golf,
100
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:28,940
and among other things,
101
00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:32,580
I asked him how married life
with his new bride, Elin, was going.
102
00:08:32,780 --> 00:08:34,900
It's been good.
It's the same as always.
103
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:36,620
- Nothing's changed?
- Nothing's changed.
104
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:39,700
That's it. I mean we're still the same,
same relationship.
105
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:42,180
How does she deal
with all the attention?
106
00:08:42,260 --> 00:08:45,820
That's the one thing she had
to get used to. She didn't ask for it.
107
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:48,860
Back in 2002 when we started
getting pretty serious about it,
108
00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:50,940
that's one of the things
we had to talk about.
109
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:53,140
I said,
"I'm sorry this has to be this way,
110
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:56,820
but it kinda comes along
with what I do."
111
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:07,740
Tiger would always talk about
having the white picket fence,
112
00:09:07,820 --> 00:09:12,860
the lovely wife, children,
and some sort of normal life.
113
00:09:15,060 --> 00:09:18,780
It appeared to me
that he was happy being married.
114
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:23,860
Elin is very sweet, smart, nice girl,
115
00:09:23,940 --> 00:09:27,740
and I was really happy
he had found that in his life.
116
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:30,780
And I thought that was,
hopefully for him,
117
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:33,780
gonna be
where he wanted to be.
118
00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:42,500
Tiger and Elin lived five doors down
from my husband and I.
119
00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:48,340
And we became very good friends.
120
00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:53,940
I remember Tiger told me
that he was gonna be a father,
121
00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:56,820
and he was just elated
to have children.
122
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:59,660
He really wanted to be
a hands-on dad.
123
00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:02,260
That was really important to him.
124
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:05,020
I think it really lit up his life.
125
00:10:05,140 --> 00:10:06,860
Elin and I are very excited.
126
00:10:06,980 --> 00:10:09,900
This is far more important
than any game of golf.
127
00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:14,420
This is an opportunity for us
to raise our first child
128
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:16,900
and we're really looking forward
to it.
129
00:10:18,020 --> 00:10:23,100
Three years into their marriage,
Elin had Sam, their little girl.
130
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:28,700
Elin always loved children and always
knew she wanted to be a mom,
131
00:10:28,780 --> 00:10:31,700
always felt like she was going
to be a mom.
132
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:35,620
She told me
that she envisioned
133
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:39,620
they would build a happy home
filled with children.
134
00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:42,860
They could be, as she put it, normal.
135
00:10:45,940 --> 00:10:47,900
I'm happier
than I've ever been in my life.
136
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:49,220
I've got a wonderful balance
137
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:52,700
between on the golf course
and off the golf course.
138
00:10:52,780 --> 00:10:53,940
Couldn't ask for a better year.
139
00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:58,300
What's harder, sinking a ten foot par
putt on 18 with a one stroke lead,
140
00:10:58,420 --> 00:11:01,900
or changing a poop diaper
and not getting anything on you?
141
00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:05,420
Number two.
Literally number two.
142
00:11:06,580 --> 00:11:10,420
The professional athlete
is always concerned about image,
143
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:14,500
and Tiger built himself up
to be more than he was.
144
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:18,620
We all have certain demons
that we have to acknowledge,
145
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:23,020
and I think for years and years
and years, Tiger ignored his.
146
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:24,780
And that made him susceptible.
147
00:11:24,940 --> 00:11:26,460
There were
so many articles written
148
00:11:26,580 --> 00:11:29,060
when you had a baby that
you were gonna lose your edge.
149
00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:31,460
Does it bother you when you start
to see these things written?
150
00:11:31,540 --> 00:11:34,620
It seems people are waiting
for something to happen.
151
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:41,100
There is a fascination in America
to see the top dog fall off the ladder.
152
00:11:41,780 --> 00:11:43,540
Get in the hole!
153
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:47,060
No. Yes!
154
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,860
It's called the crab
in the barrel mentality.
155
00:11:51,940 --> 00:11:55,820
We are all in a barrel and we have
crabs trying to get out of the barrel
156
00:11:55,940 --> 00:11:57,900
and as soon
as they get up to the top,
157
00:11:57,980 --> 00:12:01,380
one of the other crabs
grabs its leg
158
00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:03,980
and pulls it back down
into the barrel.
159
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:07,780
So there was a group of people,
especially in the media,
160
00:12:07,940 --> 00:12:10,540
pulling against him.
161
00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:17,020
These detractors were plotting,
hoping for his fall.
162
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:23,740
I think the Tiger Woods story
is a big cautionary tale.
163
00:12:27,260 --> 00:12:31,020
Be careful about the image
you create of yourself.
164
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:36,500
Be careful to live lies.
Be very very careful.
165
00:12:36,580 --> 00:12:39,180
Because it could
all come tumbling down.
166
00:12:46,780 --> 00:12:53,180
The National Enquirer had
a history of just smearing people.
167
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:58,380
They knew that the American public
loved to see
168
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:01,500
the failings
of their famous celebrities.
169
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:05,100
And so they fed that appetite
with a vengeance.
170
00:13:08,380 --> 00:13:10,740
NATIONAL ENQUIRER HQ
BOCA RATON, FL
171
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:13,420
One evening I was at the office,
172
00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:17,340
and I got a call to report
to the editor-in-chief.
173
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:22,220
There he was with the biggest smile
I'd ever seen on his face.
174
00:13:22,380 --> 00:13:27,700
He had the biggest scoop in years.
Tiger Woods.
175
00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:36,700
Tiger had his trips to Vegas,
he had a wild side,
176
00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:40,660
and he had
an insatiable appetite for women.
177
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:46,580
And he made a careless mistake.
178
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:53,180
There was a restaurant
where Tiger would go with his wife,
179
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:55,420
not far from home.
180
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:59,620
And at this restaurant was a hostess.
Mindy Lawton.
181
00:14:01,060 --> 00:14:04,700
And Tiger just couldn't take
his eyes off of her.
182
00:14:04,820 --> 00:14:06,700
I was shocked.
I was in awe.
183
00:14:07,740 --> 00:14:10,740
I didn't think it was real,
I didn't think it was happening to me,
184
00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:12,700
but I played it cool.
185
00:14:13,580 --> 00:14:18,220
And they had
a furiously eruptive relationship.
186
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:23,900
Sometimes before they could even get
to the bedroom of Tiger Woods' home,
187
00:14:23,980 --> 00:14:25,500
while his wife was out of town,
188
00:14:25,660 --> 00:14:29,700
they would make love in the garage,
against the golf cart.
189
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:37,060
And for the squeakiest and cleanest
celebrity probably on Earth,
190
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:40,500
that spelled trouble.
191
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:49,340
The National Enquirer immediately
sent reporters to track Tiger Woods.
192
00:14:50,020 --> 00:14:53,460
They followed him
into a church parking lot
193
00:14:53,580 --> 00:14:59,020
where they witnessed him having
sex with Mindy Lawton.
194
00:15:01,580 --> 00:15:06,260
The reporter took photographs
of them together
195
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:11,140
and even picked up the tampon
that Mindy had discarded
196
00:15:11,220 --> 00:15:15,940
and kept it in their vault as proof
that Mindy had been there.
197
00:15:19,340 --> 00:15:24,900
The National Enquirer called
Tiger's team and asked the question,
198
00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:30,820
"What is Tiger Woods' relationship
with Mindy Lawton?"
199
00:15:32,460 --> 00:15:34,940
And then hung up the phone.
200
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:39,700
Everyone in the Tiger camp
went into damage control mode.
201
00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:44,180
It was all about,
"How can we kill this story?"
202
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:51,740
The National Enquirer knew
that they had Tiger Woods,
203
00:15:51,820 --> 00:15:55,180
but the photographs
were too blurry to run,
204
00:15:55,260 --> 00:15:59,980
so they decided they would do
a catch and kill and make a deal.
205
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:03,940
In exchange for silence,
206
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:07,260
Tiger would appear
on the cover of Men's Fitness,
207
00:16:07,340 --> 00:16:11,660
which was owned by the company
that owned the National Enquirer.
208
00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:19,500
The Tiger camp considered the deal,
and considered it favorably.
209
00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:29,660
As salacious
as the Mindy Lawton story was,
210
00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:32,900
nothing was ever printed.
211
00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:37,620
And in the eyes of the public,
Tiger Woods remained Tiger Woods.
212
00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:44,300
My father's been instrumental
213
00:16:44,380 --> 00:16:48,300
in getting this foundation
started from the get-go.
214
00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:53,700
And I feel there's no better way
to honor what he's done
215
00:16:53,820 --> 00:16:56,820
than to create a statue like this
216
00:16:56,980 --> 00:17:00,380
because this basically
is my dad and I.
217
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:05,060
Mirror mirror on the wall,
218
00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:08,500
we grow up like our daddy after all.
219
00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:15,300
Tiger became what he loathed
most about his father,
220
00:17:15,420 --> 00:17:17,380
a philanderer.
221
00:17:18,220 --> 00:17:19,660
Alright!
222
00:17:21,460 --> 00:17:24,500
That boy loved his father
with everything in him,
223
00:17:24,580 --> 00:17:27,540
and that father loved that boy
with everything in him.
224
00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:32,660
They were father - son,
brothers, best friends,
225
00:17:32,780 --> 00:17:35,700
Dr. Frankenstein and his monster.
226
00:17:35,780 --> 00:17:37,500
And I've always really wondered
227
00:17:37,580 --> 00:17:41,900
if some part of him feels like
his own journey to self-realization
228
00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:48,060
and going from being his father's son
to his own man required
229
00:17:48,140 --> 00:17:52,620
going fully down the rabbit hole
of Earl Woods.
230
00:17:58,380 --> 00:18:01,660
It's been a whirlwind tour for Tiger
Woods and his father, Earl Woods,
231
00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:02,860
here at Fort Bragg.
232
00:18:02,980 --> 00:18:05,940
The visit was about Earl Woods
sharing with his son the pride
233
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:08,540
he had serving
with Special Forces.
234
00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:11,220
Tiger says military training
is not too different
235
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:13,220
from staying in shape
to play golf.
236
00:18:13,340 --> 00:18:17,260
It's actually very similar. Except
for jumping out of a plane, I don't...
237
00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:19,220
I don't really do that
to get ready for a tournament.
238
00:18:19,340 --> 00:18:22,580
But he did do that this week
with the Army's Golden Knights.
239
00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:25,540
Not one, but two tandem jumps
from thirteen thousand feet,
240
00:18:25,620 --> 00:18:27,660
and he's got pictures
to prove it.
241
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,740
I think he just loved
that weekend with his father.
242
00:18:33,860 --> 00:18:36,140
Earl was a Green Beret
and Tiger decided,
243
00:18:36,220 --> 00:18:40,060
"I want to find out a bit more
for myself what that was like."
244
00:18:40,140 --> 00:18:43,540
And jumping out of airplanes
was just the beginning.
245
00:18:44,060 --> 00:18:45,820
I think he wanted
to be able to say,
246
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:48,980
"Ay, Pops, you're tough,
I'm tough too.
247
00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:51,420
Maybe just one step tougher
than you."
248
00:18:55,940 --> 00:19:01,220
On Tiger Woods' 31st birthday,
he was with the Navy SEALs.
249
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:05,300
As part of his training,
250
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:07,980
the SEALs would take him
through the kill house,
251
00:19:08,060 --> 00:19:10,300
which is how they practice
clearing rooms.
252
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:15,460
And he would go there to do this,
over and over and over.
253
00:19:18,780 --> 00:19:22,580
I mean, it all might have started
as chasing Earl's past,
254
00:19:23,020 --> 00:19:26,740
but Tiger was finding a life
that was his.
255
00:19:32,340 --> 00:19:35,820
I remember after this tournament
one time,
256
00:19:35,940 --> 00:19:38,980
we were driving back to the house
where we were staying.
257
00:19:39,140 --> 00:19:42,340
He said to me,
"I think I'm gonna give up golf
258
00:19:42,420 --> 00:19:45,500
and I'm gonna go
and get in the Navy SEALs."
259
00:19:45,620 --> 00:19:50,220
That stunned me in my tracks to be
honest. I actually couldn't believe it.
260
00:19:51,540 --> 00:19:54,140
But he seemed incredibly serious.
261
00:19:54,220 --> 00:19:57,660
And anyone that's normal
wouldn't go and be a Navy SEAL,
262
00:19:57,740 --> 00:19:59,140
but this man's wired differently
263
00:19:59,260 --> 00:20:03,860
and he's gonna do something that's
gonna test you to the absolute limit.
264
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:06,940
Tiger would go do this crazy stuff.
265
00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:09,140
They put this hood over your head.
266
00:20:09,260 --> 00:20:12,380
The hood goes off and you're
presented with a scenario.
267
00:20:12,460 --> 00:20:15,900
And it could be three guys on top
of you, beating the shit out of you.
268
00:20:16,940 --> 00:20:21,220
You get shot up with simunition,
you get these huge bruises on you.
269
00:20:22,740 --> 00:20:26,060
The SEALs loved to tell stories
about just lighting him up,
270
00:20:26,180 --> 00:20:27,980
and the guys in charge were like,
271
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:29,580
"You can shoot Tiger
wherever you want,
272
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:31,340
just don't shoot him
in his hands."
273
00:20:31,460 --> 00:20:33,060
Like they were
very well aware of,
274
00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:36,260
"We don't wanna be the guys
that broke Tiger Woods."
275
00:20:38,340 --> 00:20:42,300
Tiger had all sorts of knee
and back issues from playing golf,
276
00:20:42,380 --> 00:20:46,540
and the Navy SEALs stuff
was devastating on his body.
277
00:20:47,820 --> 00:20:52,500
There was a SEAL who said, "Injuries
are magnets for more injuries."
278
00:20:53,140 --> 00:20:57,340
And Tiger always seemed
to get kicked in his left knee.
279
00:21:08,460 --> 00:21:11,940
Tiger was in immense pain
with his knee,
280
00:21:12,060 --> 00:21:17,580
and when they scope his knee out,
they discover he's got no ACL.
281
00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:25,580
The doctors say to him, "You're gonna
need major reconstruction there."
282
00:21:27,180 --> 00:21:31,180
But, it's Tiger. "Fuck that,
I'm gonna deal with that later."
283
00:21:31,820 --> 00:21:34,020
And he kept training.
284
00:21:36,060 --> 00:21:39,540
And of course, he gets himself
two fractures in his leg.
285
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:44,260
I remember thinking,
286
00:21:44,340 --> 00:21:48,580
"You brought it all upon yourself,
so self-inflicted."
287
00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:59,660
The doctors say to him, "You're gonna
be out of the game for a while."
288
00:21:59,780 --> 00:22:03,060
But he's got
the 2008 U.S. Open looming.
289
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:06,980
Can he win another major
and be one step closer
290
00:22:07,060 --> 00:22:09,660
to breaking
Jack Nicklaus' record?
291
00:22:11,340 --> 00:22:13,580
Jack's sitting on 18 majors.
292
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:16,420
Tiger needed to eclipse that mark
293
00:22:16,540 --> 00:22:19,420
to prove that he is
the greatest player of all time.
294
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:22,020
You can finish your career
with 19 majors,
295
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,900
one more than Jack,
or one hundred wins.
296
00:22:24,980 --> 00:22:26,220
19.
297
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:29,220
You can finish your career
with 17 majors,
298
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:31,700
one fewer than Jack,
or a hundred wins.
299
00:22:32,380 --> 00:22:34,300
19.
300
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:37,420
There wasn't
anything gonna stop him.
301
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:40,260
Two fractures in his leg
and no ACL.
302
00:22:40,340 --> 00:22:42,540
Nothing was gonna stop him.
303
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:51,380
Welcome to the 108th U.S. Open
Championship, beautiful Torrey Pines.
304
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:55,100
First competitive golf for Tiger Woods
since his knee surgery.
305
00:22:55,260 --> 00:22:57,500
What do you expect to see
over the four days?
306
00:22:57,580 --> 00:23:00,260
I think the big issue is fatigue.
307
00:23:00,380 --> 00:23:03,060
In practice, he was only playing
nine holes per day.
308
00:23:03,220 --> 00:23:06,340
First time out to go 18,
so we'll see how it holds up.
309
00:23:14,180 --> 00:23:16,340
That headed left.
310
00:23:17,420 --> 00:23:19,340
He grimaced on that one.
311
00:23:20,180 --> 00:23:23,260
Look at his knee.
You can see him favoring that knee.
312
00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:27,820
I could see just the look on his face,
the agony that he was going through.
313
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:29,980
And we all looked at each other
and thought,
314
00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:32,660
"He's got no right playing
in the U.S. Open."
315
00:23:32,740 --> 00:23:35,540
Now Woods,
tied for 27th place.
316
00:23:37,060 --> 00:23:39,260
Headed way, way right.
317
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:44,420
He's making friends
with all the gallery here, isn't he?
318
00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:46,580
What's the feeling like
out there, Roger?
319
00:23:46,660 --> 00:23:47,980
It's absolute shock, Johnny.
320
00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:51,260
I don't think anybody can believe what
they're watching here. I really don't.
321
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:55,340
He hits his tee shot
onto the cart path.
322
00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:58,380
He's got cleats on, spikes.
323
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:01,780
And as he went to hit the ball,
his foot slipped out.
324
00:24:03,820 --> 00:24:06,460
And I heard the crack in his knee.
325
00:24:06,540 --> 00:24:11,740
I just saw the look in his eyes.
It was like he'd just been shot.
326
00:24:16,540 --> 00:24:21,940
I said to him, "Hey Tiger, you might
be jeopardizing your career here.
327
00:24:22,020 --> 00:24:25,140
Maybe this is the time to quit."
328
00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:29,940
And I'll never forget,
he looks at me and he goes,
329
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:33,180
"Stevie, fuck you.
I'm winning this tournament."
330
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:40,260
How 'bout that birdie?
331
00:24:41,260 --> 00:24:45,500
I wasn't gonna bag it. It's just not
my nature. I don't know how to do that.
332
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:49,060
I think that one might have hurt.
333
00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:52,460
There's never any excuses.
The pain hits, the pain hits.
334
00:24:52,580 --> 00:24:55,180
So be it. It's just pain.
335
00:24:57,020 --> 00:25:02,660
Tiger's on this quest to be
the undeniable, absolute G.O.A.T.,
336
00:25:02,740 --> 00:25:04,860
Greatest of All Time.
337
00:25:04,980 --> 00:25:08,300
And within the context
of Tiger's astounding career,
338
00:25:08,420 --> 00:25:13,580
the 2008 U.S. Open stands out
among all the others.
339
00:25:13,660 --> 00:25:15,260
Get in the hole.
340
00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:21,180
That's gonna catch the bank.
341
00:25:21,260 --> 00:25:25,620
The mental strength, the physical
strength, everything that he brought.
342
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:29,700
Very awkward stance, and this can't
help the left knee I wouldn't think.
343
00:25:29,780 --> 00:25:32,860
There was something magical
going on.
344
00:25:36,420 --> 00:25:40,620
You gotta be kidding.
He knows it, too.
345
00:25:41,420 --> 00:25:44,500
It's the same thing that would
allow Lennon and McCartney
346
00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:46,020
to write "Eleanor Rigby."
347
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:49,300
Whatever it is, there's
some kind of magic in the air.
348
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:56,380
What else could possibly explain
a guy whose body's falling apart,
349
00:25:57,060 --> 00:25:59,020
and he does contend?
350
00:26:00,140 --> 00:26:03,500
Absolutely electric at Torrey Pines.
351
00:26:05,420 --> 00:26:07,540
And a stunner of the day
for Tiger Woods,
352
00:26:07,660 --> 00:26:10,500
two better at the moment
than Rocco Mediate.
353
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:11,940
Alright, Rocco, describe
354
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:14,460
what the last four and a half hours
of your life have been like?
355
00:26:14,620 --> 00:26:16,220
It was unbelievable,
but it was so much fun.
356
00:26:16,340 --> 00:26:17,620
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
to see what happens.
357
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,300
- Can you beat him tomorrow?
- Who knows what can happen?
358
00:26:20,380 --> 00:26:22,220
But it's... The way I'm striking it,
you never know,
359
00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:23,460
I just gotta make
a few more putts.
360
00:26:23,580 --> 00:26:27,060
- Congratulations on a fabulous day.
- Thanks, it was a blast.
361
00:26:29,580 --> 00:26:33,780
That night I'm thinking,
I can't beat him.
362
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:38,780
I gotta have backup.
So I called the devil.
363
00:26:39,860 --> 00:26:43,900
I said, "Devil, listen.
I think I need some help tomorrow.
364
00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:48,100
I gotta play this guy, and you know,
I don't... He's just the best."
365
00:26:49,060 --> 00:26:51,300
He goes, "Oh, yeah.
You're playing Tiger tomorrow."
366
00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:54,980
I went, "Yup."
He goes, "He's already with me.
367
00:26:55,860 --> 00:26:57,500
Had him since he was a kid."
368
00:26:57,620 --> 00:27:01,180
I went, "Son of a bitch. Alright,
thanks." Hung the phone up.
369
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:05,860
What kind of day is it gonna be
for Tiger Woods?
370
00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:09,940
Should be another interesting quest
for a major championship.
371
00:27:15,580 --> 00:27:19,820
Tiger was still hurt, obviously.
But it didn't affect the way he played.
372
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:22,780
- That one bothered him, too.
- Yeah, but it's in the fairway.
373
00:27:23,980 --> 00:27:27,180
He still played like he plays,
intense and really good.
374
00:27:30,140 --> 00:27:31,940
That one was audible.
375
00:27:32,540 --> 00:27:34,460
He didn't hold back at all.
376
00:27:34,980 --> 00:27:38,220
I kept looking at him going,
"What in the hell are you doing?"
377
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:41,140
But I think he thought
he was immortal.
378
00:27:44,980 --> 00:27:47,620
Another stroke of genius by Tiger.
379
00:27:48,460 --> 00:27:50,340
You watch the stuff he did,
380
00:27:50,420 --> 00:27:53,020
and then you go,
"Well of course he's immortal."
381
00:27:53,140 --> 00:27:55,100
Broken leg or not.
382
00:27:55,740 --> 00:27:57,860
Let's go, Tiger!
383
00:27:59,180 --> 00:28:00,660
When you stand around him,
384
00:28:00,740 --> 00:28:04,180
there's something going on
that you're not used to feeling.
385
00:28:05,260 --> 00:28:06,820
That feeling of, "You can't hide
386
00:28:06,940 --> 00:28:09,980
and you're playing
with the best player in the world."
387
00:28:33,420 --> 00:28:35,580
Expect anything different?
388
00:28:40,140 --> 00:28:42,940
Unbelievable.
I knew he'd make it.
389
00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:46,900
The stuff he pulled that week,
it was remarkable.
390
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:52,300
But nothing surprised me.
Not one thing. At all.
391
00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:55,740
And in one of the most
remarkable performances,
392
00:28:55,940 --> 00:29:01,700
Tiger Woods perseveres and wins
a third U.S. Open Championship.
393
00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:11,060
If you wish for something
so so fervently, and it happens,
394
00:29:11,620 --> 00:29:15,860
that sounds like a happy ending,
but it's not always.
395
00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:21,540
At his core,
Tiger has this view of the world
396
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:27,300
that only sort of a young boy has
of conquering.
397
00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:30,980
He conquered the world.
398
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:33,260
The problem
with conquering the world
399
00:29:33,420 --> 00:29:36,580
is that the world is gonna want
its revenge.
400
00:29:45,340 --> 00:29:50,220
For the last ten years,
I have stayed quiet about this story.
401
00:29:51,060 --> 00:29:55,020
But at this point,
I have nothing left to lose.
402
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:59,500
My name hasn't lost
the stigma at all.
403
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:04,300
It's always been "Rachel Uchitel,
comma, Tiger Woods' Mistress."
404
00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:13,780
I was running one of the clubs
in New York City.
405
00:30:15,060 --> 00:30:20,940
I probably hosted every famous athlete
or celebrity you can think of.
406
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:26,380
They come for the best night
of their lives,
407
00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:31,380
and I'm the person that is going
to facilitate that for them.
408
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:34,140
This is how I met Tiger Woods.
409
00:30:36,780 --> 00:30:39,660
One night,
I was working at the club,
410
00:30:39,780 --> 00:30:44,660
and I saw Tiger sipping his drink,
sitting by himself, talking to nobody.
411
00:30:46,460 --> 00:30:48,660
I was surprised it was him,
to be honest with you.
412
00:30:48,780 --> 00:30:52,380
I was just surprised
that that was Tiger Woods.
413
00:30:53,780 --> 00:30:59,180
I went over to him to make sure that he
was okay, see if he needed anything.
414
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:01,620
He grabbed me and asked me
a few more questions
415
00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:05,980
and then as they went to leave,
he took my phone number.
416
00:31:06,660 --> 00:31:11,220
And the car probably hadn't even got
to the light at the corner,
417
00:31:11,340 --> 00:31:13,300
he started texting me.
418
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:19,020
He said something like,
"When can I see you again?"
419
00:31:20,380 --> 00:31:24,500
It was intimidating.
I mean, this was Tiger Woods.
420
00:31:25,780 --> 00:31:30,460
I knew he was married.
I knew that he had responsibilities.
421
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:34,220
But he said,
"I want you to fly to Orlando
422
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:36,500
and then I will come
see you there."
423
00:31:38,380 --> 00:31:42,780
That was the first night
I had sex with him.
424
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:47,180
And I remember thinking with him,
425
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:53,700
"How am I ever gonna be
with a mere mortal ever again?"
426
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:58,660
Because so many people
put him on such a pedestal.
427
00:31:58,820 --> 00:32:01,780
And here he was, in my bed,
428
00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:06,460
and he was my Tiger.
429
00:32:11,740 --> 00:32:14,820
We really enjoyed
being with each other.
430
00:32:16,060 --> 00:32:19,220
He would refer to it as
"plugging in."
431
00:32:19,340 --> 00:32:22,380
He would tell me
that when he saw me,
432
00:32:22,460 --> 00:32:25,420
he felt like he could plug in
and get recharged.
433
00:32:26,860 --> 00:32:32,820
Tiger had issues sleeping
and he would have to take Ambien.
434
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:35,700
I would sometimes just sit
next to him for hours
435
00:32:35,780 --> 00:32:39,180
while he would fall asleep
next to me.
436
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:45,580
And when he got up, I think that
he allowed himself to be a little kid.
437
00:32:46,740 --> 00:32:49,420
I mean, it sounds kind of odd.
438
00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:53,500
He would eat cereal
439
00:32:54,700 --> 00:32:57,420
and he would watch his cartoons.
440
00:32:58,620 --> 00:33:03,100
And he was like a fountain. He just
wanted to talk and talk and talk.
441
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:10,180
He told me a lot
about his childhood, his dad,
442
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:14,060
and that he was sick of trying
to hide who he was.
443
00:33:15,540 --> 00:33:20,020
But he was so scared
of the real Tiger
444
00:33:20,140 --> 00:33:25,820
not living up to the Tiger
that everybody else thinks he is.
445
00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:34,660
One day I did ask him why he
didn't check in at home with Elin.
446
00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:38,380
He said, "She doesn't ask questions
like you, she's not like you."
447
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:44,900
And it occurred to me that he wanted
to have someone to check in with.
448
00:33:45,660 --> 00:33:49,860
I asked him a million questions and
he wanted to give every single detail
449
00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:56,100
that he hadn't been able to say
in years or ever.
450
00:33:59,180 --> 00:34:01,980
One day when he was
dropping me off at the airport,
451
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:05,580
I said, "I'm gonna miss you.
It's really hard for me
452
00:34:05,740 --> 00:34:08,980
to just get back on a plane
and go home."
453
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:11,940
And he told me,
454
00:34:12,860 --> 00:34:18,660
"You need to learn how to
compartmentalize your feelings,
455
00:34:18,740 --> 00:34:21,140
push them off
to the side,
456
00:34:21,220 --> 00:34:24,140
and think
about something else."
457
00:34:28,140 --> 00:34:34,260
2009
ARNOLD PALMER INVITATIONAL
458
00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:39,940
You know, I mean,
any time you're off that long,
459
00:34:40,060 --> 00:34:43,460
there's always some wonder if you
can continue this incredible magic,
460
00:34:43,580 --> 00:34:47,140
the incredible pace, when he won
that U.S. Open last year.
461
00:34:47,540 --> 00:34:51,740
This would be another great example
of why Tiger is Tiger.
462
00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:56,540
When he comes back in 2009,
after his knee surgery,
463
00:34:56,620 --> 00:34:58,900
he was a winning machine.
464
00:35:02,740 --> 00:35:06,060
Again! At Bay Hill!
465
00:35:08,140 --> 00:35:10,620
It feels good to be back
in contention again, to feel the rush,
466
00:35:10,780 --> 00:35:14,540
and it's been a while,
but God, it felt good.
467
00:35:14,860 --> 00:35:18,060
If you made a map of the world,
and especially the United States,
468
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:21,220
and just put pins
for where Tiger was winning,
469
00:35:21,340 --> 00:35:23,020
this guy's everywhere.
470
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:27,220
Tiger on his way to winning
for the fourth time this year.
471
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:30,820
Looks to be a good positive stroke.
Get in there. Yes!
472
00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:35,020
Pretty close to paranormal, isn't it?
Is that a good word for him?
473
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:38,940
That is in the ionosphere
and just left of the hole.
474
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:41,500
Oh! Look at this shot!
475
00:35:42,420 --> 00:35:45,220
That's certainly
a strong way to finish.
476
00:35:45,340 --> 00:35:49,500
Seventy wins and he's 33?
That's frightening.
477
00:35:52,540 --> 00:35:56,340
It's an unbelievable year,
not only 'cause he wins so much,
478
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,300
but because he's doing it
479
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:02,660
in the middle of this extreme
balancing act in his private life.
480
00:36:03,060 --> 00:36:05,740
Congratulations going out
this morning to Tiger Woods
481
00:36:05,820 --> 00:36:06,980
and his wife, Elin.
482
00:36:07,060 --> 00:36:11,780
Woods' website confirming the birth
of their son, Charlie Axel Woods.
483
00:36:11,860 --> 00:36:15,820
Can you see yourself giving
the kind of time to your kids
484
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:17,380
that your parents gave to you?
485
00:36:17,460 --> 00:36:21,500
As best I can. I want
my kids to know their father.
486
00:36:21,620 --> 00:36:24,900
How do you think that would affect
your day job?
487
00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:28,620
Family always comes first. Always
has been in my life and always will.
488
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:32,740
Elin and I, we have
to work on that as a team.
489
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,540
If you talk about
Tiger Woods' greatest gifts,
490
00:36:35,620 --> 00:36:39,460
certainly one of them is
the ability to compartmentalize.
491
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:43,180
2099 AT&T NATIONAL
492
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:45,700
Oh, look out. What a putt!
493
00:36:46,540 --> 00:36:48,980
Well that's why
he's world's number one.
494
00:36:50,220 --> 00:36:55,500
I mean, to move from dominating
a golf tournament
495
00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:59,180
to being married
and having children
496
00:36:59,260 --> 00:37:04,100
and then moving from woman
to woman to woman to woman.
497
00:37:04,220 --> 00:37:08,780
In many ways,
Tiger was living four, five, six,
498
00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:11,340
seven different lives at a time.
499
00:37:13,260 --> 00:37:18,060
It becomes like a drug.
And you're looking for that next hit.
500
00:37:18,140 --> 00:37:21,780
Tiger kept having another hit
and another hit.
501
00:37:22,940 --> 00:37:27,220
In the beginning, he was
bright eyed and big smile.
502
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:31,060
But I saw a change in him
through time.
503
00:37:31,820 --> 00:37:36,100
And towards the end,
there was a sadness about him.
504
00:37:36,220 --> 00:37:39,860
Maybe that adrenaline rush
had left him
505
00:37:39,940 --> 00:37:42,500
and he needed to go
to that next level.
506
00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:46,500
I do know
that he called a Madam.
507
00:37:47,940 --> 00:37:51,060
Every couple of months,
he requested to have multiple girls.
508
00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:54,100
Could be up to ten girls at a time.
509
00:37:54,220 --> 00:37:56,180
He had a particular type
that he liked.
510
00:37:56,260 --> 00:38:00,460
Young, college cutie, girl
next door type, preferably blonde.
511
00:38:00,540 --> 00:38:02,940
Vegas is providing
every opportunity he wants
512
00:38:03,020 --> 00:38:05,780
to sample everything
and anything he wants,
513
00:38:05,860 --> 00:38:09,100
including the highest
of high-end escorts.
514
00:38:09,860 --> 00:38:14,100
We're talking five and six-figure
weekends with these girls.
515
00:38:14,780 --> 00:38:17,220
He was into roleplaying.
516
00:38:17,340 --> 00:38:19,900
We would go
and get tons of girls,
517
00:38:19,980 --> 00:38:23,020
and he would dress up
into a suit.
518
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,300
We were like little puppets.
519
00:38:26,740 --> 00:38:31,740
I think there's a real danger
in trying to equate Tiger's behavior
520
00:38:31,860 --> 00:38:34,500
with seeking a thrill.
521
00:38:35,340 --> 00:38:38,500
This is one troubled man.
522
00:38:38,620 --> 00:38:41,340
And much like alcohol,
much like drugs,
523
00:38:41,460 --> 00:38:46,140
much like gambling,
sex is a form of pain relief.
524
00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:50,220
More than he got
from winning a major
525
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:54,020
or from going in a kill house
with the SEALs,
526
00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:59,180
sex stops the pain
for a period of time.
527
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:19,340
Tiger Woods, like so many powerful,
wealthy celebrities,
528
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:23,180
felt that he could get away
with anything.
529
00:39:23,260 --> 00:39:25,780
And unfortunately,
that wasn't the case.
530
00:39:26,940 --> 00:39:29,860
- Come on, Tiger Woods.
- Lookin' good, brother.
531
00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:33,380
The National Enquirer
had been tracking Tiger Woods
532
00:39:33,540 --> 00:39:35,860
ever since
the Mindy Lawton story.
533
00:39:38,460 --> 00:39:42,340
They knew
about his trips to Vegas,
534
00:39:42,420 --> 00:39:46,420
his nightclubs near his home,
535
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:51,220
and when the National Enquirer
found out about Rachel Uchitel,
536
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:53,340
they were watching,
537
00:39:53,460 --> 00:39:58,460
waiting for that one moment
to catch them in the act.
538
00:40:01,380 --> 00:40:04,300
2009
AUSTRALIAN MASTERS
539
00:40:04,420 --> 00:40:07,100
- Open it up. Open it up.
- Come on guys, relax.
540
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:11,940
And I welcome Tiger Woods
to the Australian Masters.
541
00:40:12,020 --> 00:40:14,820
We're delighted
that he's such a fan of Melbourne,
542
00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:16,740
and Tiger, we wish you
the best for this week.
543
00:40:16,820 --> 00:40:18,220
Thank you.
544
00:40:18,420 --> 00:40:21,340
I got a call from Tiger
in November,
545
00:40:21,460 --> 00:40:24,260
saying that he could not play
the Australian Masters
546
00:40:24,340 --> 00:40:26,780
unless I came there.
547
00:40:26,860 --> 00:40:32,500
He says, "I can't sleep, I can't win
if you're not here. So will you come?"
548
00:40:33,780 --> 00:40:38,020
This man, that everybody wanted
a piece of, only wanted me.
549
00:40:38,940 --> 00:40:41,660
That's the biggest "I love you"
you could hear.
550
00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:53,460
Tiger's team had booked me
a separate room on a different floor,
551
00:40:53,580 --> 00:40:57,620
but I wanted to go
straight to Tiger's suite.
552
00:40:58,620 --> 00:41:02,660
I never knew that anybody had any
inkling about my comings or goings.
553
00:41:03,380 --> 00:41:06,500
I never thought
to look over my shoulder.
554
00:41:06,580 --> 00:41:11,300
We were really brazen with what we
thought that we could get away with.
555
00:41:15,460 --> 00:41:19,500
The National Enquirer
had sent a reporter
556
00:41:19,580 --> 00:41:22,020
to the Crown Casino
in Melbourne.
557
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:28,020
And the reporter got into
an elevator with Rachel Uchitel,
558
00:41:28,140 --> 00:41:33,820
followed her to the top floor, watched
as she walked to Tiger's suite,
559
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:38,900
and that's when the National Enquirer
called and said,
560
00:41:38,980 --> 00:41:41,260
"You're going to see Tiger Woods."
561
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:48,060
We did everything
to try and stop that story.
562
00:41:48,140 --> 00:41:53,220
We made every threat,
we made every denial,
563
00:41:53,340 --> 00:41:57,060
and at the end of the day,
the story was gonna run.
564
00:42:01,020 --> 00:42:03,380
When Tiger got back to Florida,
565
00:42:03,460 --> 00:42:05,940
he sits down with Elin, his wife,
566
00:42:06,060 --> 00:42:10,380
and he says, "Look, there's a story
coming from the National Enquirer.
567
00:42:10,460 --> 00:42:13,860
It's all garbage,
and I can prove it."
568
00:42:13,980 --> 00:42:17,740
So he gives her his phone
and it's Rachel Uchitel.
569
00:42:18,340 --> 00:42:23,060
We had an extensive, thirty-minute
conversation, Elin and I,
570
00:42:23,140 --> 00:42:27,180
convincing her that I was not having
a sexual relationship with Tiger.
571
00:42:28,180 --> 00:42:32,260
We talked about how I knew Tiger,
how I knew his friends,
572
00:42:32,380 --> 00:42:34,740
how and why I was in Australia.
573
00:42:35,380 --> 00:42:41,740
Elin was already inclined to believe
that the tabloid media was hurtful,
574
00:42:41,820 --> 00:42:44,060
not to believe them,
that they were bad.
575
00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:47,660
So she sort of was inclined
to go along with all of that.
576
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:52,540
The story came out
and nobody looked at it.
577
00:42:53,340 --> 00:42:57,100
Between this stupid story
and the phone call with Elin,
578
00:42:57,180 --> 00:43:02,180
I remember thinking, "Oh my God,
we're gonna slide right over this."
579
00:43:03,380 --> 00:43:05,460
NOVEMBER 26, 2009
580
00:43:05,540 --> 00:43:08,060
Two days later,
it was Thanksgiving.
581
00:43:08,980 --> 00:43:11,580
Tiger and I texted
throughout the day,
582
00:43:11,660 --> 00:43:14,660
saying that we have
a lot to be grateful for.
583
00:43:14,740 --> 00:43:19,700
We had gotten away unscathed in what
could have been a complete nightmare.
584
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:24,940
And then, I get this text message
from Tiger saying,
585
00:43:25,020 --> 00:43:29,140
"You were the only one
I ever loved."
586
00:43:31,460 --> 00:43:36,060
I remember just feeling that things
had never been better between us.
587
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:41,460
And then he told me he was taking
an Ambien and going to sleep.
588
00:43:42,860 --> 00:43:48,220
When I got another text from him,
I was kind of surprised.
589
00:43:48,300 --> 00:43:52,020
What came through was something like,
"When am I gonna see you again?"
590
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:53,780
And then the phone rang.
591
00:43:54,660 --> 00:43:58,580
I answered saying something like,
592
00:43:58,660 --> 00:44:00,700
"Hey babe,
I thought you went to sleep."
593
00:44:00,820 --> 00:44:04,820
And instead of Tiger's voice,
it was Elin.
594
00:44:05,020 --> 00:44:08,940
And she said,
"I knew it was you."
595
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:16,620
911, what's your emergency?
596
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:19,340
I need an ambulance immediately.
I have someone down.
597
00:44:19,460 --> 00:44:21,940
In front of my house.
They hit a pole.
598
00:44:22,020 --> 00:44:25,180
- I came out to see...
- Is it a car accident, sir?
599
00:44:25,260 --> 00:44:27,820
It's a car accident, yes.
600
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:30,580
Okay. Are they trapped
inside of the vehicle?
601
00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:32,860
No. They're laying
on the ground now.
602
00:44:32,940 --> 00:44:35,580
- Is he unconscious?
- Yes.
603
00:44:35,660 --> 00:44:37,780
Okay. Are you able to tell
if he's breathing?
604
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:39,500
No, I can't tell right now.
605
00:44:41,380 --> 00:44:43,380
Tiger's Mother:
What happened?
606
00:44:49,940 --> 00:44:53,060
NOVEMBER 29, 2009
607
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:04,300
We interrupt regular programming
right now
608
00:45:04,380 --> 00:45:06,780
for breaking news
that will rock the world of sports.
609
00:45:06,900 --> 00:45:10,260
Tiger Woods, the world's greatest
golfer, has been injured in a crash.
610
00:45:10,420 --> 00:45:14,220
His SUV ran afoul
of a fire hydrant and a tree
611
00:45:14,380 --> 00:45:17,580
in the wee small hours of the morning,
right outside his house.
612
00:45:17,660 --> 00:45:21,220
A local police chief now says Woods'
wife had to smash a window of the car
613
00:45:21,340 --> 00:45:24,460
to get him out, and that Woods
was in and out of consciousness,
614
00:45:24,540 --> 00:45:27,020
lying in the street
when police arrived.
615
00:45:28,420 --> 00:45:33,260
I just remember I was sitting at work,
and this big story breaks.
616
00:45:33,540 --> 00:45:35,980
Tiger Woods was in a car accident.
617
00:45:36,060 --> 00:45:37,820
This is basically
how it all went down here.
618
00:45:37,900 --> 00:45:39,740
This is Tiger's house right here.
619
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:42,060
I was very confused.
620
00:45:42,180 --> 00:45:46,180
Why would he have a car crash
in Isleworth, a neighborhood
621
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:50,060
where I think the speed limit
doesn't go past 25 miles an hour?
622
00:45:50,140 --> 00:45:52,740
And then
that sort of set in as panic
623
00:45:52,860 --> 00:45:58,580
because I called his cell phone
and it did not have a voicemail.
624
00:45:58,660 --> 00:46:00,500
It had been shut off.
625
00:46:00,580 --> 00:46:03,620
And that's when I realized
something was really wrong.
626
00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:07,860
Tiger Woods was hospitalized
after smashing his SUV into a tree,
627
00:46:07,940 --> 00:46:11,260
declined to meet with investigators
for a second time today.
628
00:46:11,340 --> 00:46:15,220
Woods admitted to taking Vicodin
and Ambien for injuries and to sleep,
629
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:18,860
but refused to say whether
they were involved in his crash.
630
00:46:18,940 --> 00:46:20,820
Further silence
from Tiger Woods.
631
00:46:20,980 --> 00:46:23,500
People are asking,
is he hiding something?
632
00:46:23,580 --> 00:46:25,660
In the days
before the car accident,
633
00:46:25,740 --> 00:46:28,180
these two tabloids came out
with cover page stories
634
00:46:28,260 --> 00:46:31,700
alleging Tiger Woods has been having
an extramarital affair
635
00:46:31,820 --> 00:46:35,140
with a New York party hostess
named Rachel Uchitel.
636
00:46:35,980 --> 00:46:39,980
I didn't want to believe
that Tiger had done that.
637
00:46:40,060 --> 00:46:45,940
I didn't want to believe that he had
succumbed to his primal nature.
638
00:46:46,740 --> 00:46:50,340
So we just had to wait
for all the details to come out.
639
00:46:50,420 --> 00:46:53,860
Websites are quoting
friends as saying that,
640
00:46:53,980 --> 00:46:56,460
"What really happened is they got
into a little duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
641
00:46:56,540 --> 00:46:58,980
in the house over this report
that he was having an affair.
642
00:46:59,060 --> 00:47:02,860
And then all of a sudden,
out comes the wife with a golf club."
643
00:47:02,940 --> 00:47:05,260
Even though the reporting
was sketchy,
644
00:47:05,380 --> 00:47:08,460
you had a lot of people
who just couldn't get enough.
645
00:47:11,020 --> 00:47:15,100
One of the things spoken
in black households often
646
00:47:15,220 --> 00:47:17,700
was when something would happen,
647
00:47:17,780 --> 00:47:20,180
somebody older than you
would say,
648
00:47:20,300 --> 00:47:23,820
"Hope he's not black.
Hope he's not black."
649
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:30,340
Because you knew it would give
fuel and fodder to those people
650
00:47:30,420 --> 00:47:34,460
who wanted to see you
as something much less than them.
651
00:47:34,540 --> 00:47:37,060
It was gonna be used against you.
652
00:47:37,140 --> 00:47:39,940
All those people
who really didn't like him
653
00:47:40,060 --> 00:47:42,620
and were trying to find reasons
to bring him down
654
00:47:42,740 --> 00:47:46,580
and reasons to say
he wasn't this and wasn't that,
655
00:47:46,700 --> 00:47:48,780
now they're gonna have
their moment.
656
00:47:50,380 --> 00:47:52,660
Is there another woman
in the Tiger Den?
657
00:47:52,740 --> 00:47:57,260
A new day brings a new name and a
whole new slew of problems for Tiger.
658
00:47:57,340 --> 00:48:01,500
Once one woman was discovered,
many more followed.
659
00:48:01,780 --> 00:48:04,420
MISTRESS: TIGER PAID ME
660
00:48:05,260 --> 00:48:06,380
TIGER'S BACK
661
00:48:06,460 --> 00:48:09,300
NY CLUB GA,
FLA. WAITRESS JOIN 'HAREM'
662
00:48:09,380 --> 00:48:11,220
TIGER ADMITS:
I'M A CHEETAH
663
00:48:11,340 --> 00:48:13,420
There were more
New York Post covers
664
00:48:13,500 --> 00:48:17,460
dedicated to the Tiger scandal
than 9/11.
665
00:48:18,620 --> 00:48:20,300
It was a feeding frenzy.
666
00:48:20,420 --> 00:48:23,180
A waitress calling him
a Tiger in bed.
667
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:27,260
A Hooters girl, a porn star.
Will it ever end?
668
00:48:27,660 --> 00:48:30,740
It's time to find out how many women
have now been linked to Tiger Woods.
669
00:48:30,820 --> 00:48:33,620
Let's go to the Tiger Woods
Tote Board.
670
00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:37,260
The total number of women rumored
to have hooked up with Tiger Woods
671
00:48:37,340 --> 00:48:39,860
is up to� eleven!
672
00:48:41,220 --> 00:48:42,900
My first thought was,
673
00:48:43,020 --> 00:48:49,300
"Look at how the country
is taking delight in his failure."
674
00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:51,380
Like America couldn't have loved
Tiger Woods
675
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:53,300
more than they did
five years ago.
676
00:48:54,620 --> 00:48:58,540
Found out the man liked pussy,
everybody lost their goddamn mind.
677
00:48:59,820 --> 00:49:02,380
Tiger had sex with fifteen women,
they all were white,
678
00:49:02,460 --> 00:49:06,180
so Tiger don't need marriage
counciling, he need diversity training.
679
00:49:06,260 --> 00:49:10,500
It was great American entertainment.
Doesn't get any better than that.
680
00:49:19,740 --> 00:49:22,660
Jamie Jungers is the first
of Tiger Woods' alleged mistresses
681
00:49:22,780 --> 00:49:24,420
to speak out in a live interview.
682
00:49:24,500 --> 00:49:25,940
You came here today, you said,
683
00:49:26,060 --> 00:49:28,300
because you wanted to clear up
some of the information
684
00:49:28,380 --> 00:49:30,540
that's been out there about you,
like this headline,
685
00:49:30,620 --> 00:49:33,260
"Tiger Paid Me."
Never paid you for anything, you said.
686
00:49:33,340 --> 00:49:35,340
Nothing. I didn't even get
a birthday card.
687
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:38,620
I got nothing out of this relationship
but a broken heart.
688
00:49:39,020 --> 00:49:40,820
- You loved him.
- I did.
689
00:49:42,580 --> 00:49:45,940
When this hit the tabloids
and everything came out,
690
00:49:46,060 --> 00:49:49,460
it seemed like everybody
was focused on the sex part,
691
00:49:50,060 --> 00:49:52,500
but that's not what busted him.
692
00:49:52,580 --> 00:49:56,780
Ultimately what took Tiger down
was emotions.
693
00:49:56,900 --> 00:49:59,380
These weren't girls
that he was just hooking up with once
694
00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:00,820
and then tossing away.
695
00:50:00,940 --> 00:50:03,580
He had relationships
with these girls.
696
00:50:03,660 --> 00:50:06,340
We would cuddle, hug,
whatever it may be.
697
00:50:06,420 --> 00:50:09,580
And he always had his hand
intertwined with mine,
698
00:50:09,660 --> 00:50:12,660
saying,
"We will always be together."
699
00:50:13,180 --> 00:50:15,100
So many girls came out
700
00:50:15,180 --> 00:50:18,940
because Tiger
obviously hit the heart
701
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:21,300
and played with girls' emotions.
702
00:50:21,380 --> 00:50:27,380
- Are you still in love with him?
- Yes. I always will be.
703
00:50:28,380 --> 00:50:31,380
He must have done something
to make them feel very special,
704
00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:34,220
and they were jealous.
They were hurt.
705
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:36,620
They wanted to be
"the one."
706
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:39,540
And they found out
there was more than one.
707
00:50:42,380 --> 00:50:44,260
Hey, Rachel.
708
00:50:45,100 --> 00:50:48,660
Damn! So this is why Tiger
wanted to leave the wife?
709
00:50:48,740 --> 00:50:50,500
Did you love Tiger?
710
00:50:50,620 --> 00:50:53,500
Excuse me, guys. No, I can't make
any comment, you guys.
711
00:50:53,580 --> 00:50:56,940
Are you a fan of the song,
"Oh Baby I Like It Raw?"
712
00:50:58,260 --> 00:51:02,060
I think you should get a test.
STDs are a problem out there.
713
00:51:02,660 --> 00:51:08,620
This story was so huge. That was
the end of my life as I knew it.
714
00:51:10,420 --> 00:51:16,300
There now were probably 45 to 50
paparazzi outside of my apartment,
715
00:51:16,420 --> 00:51:21,180
telling me that I was a homewrecker,
that I was a whore,
716
00:51:21,260 --> 00:51:23,820
saying, "I hope you get AIDS
and die."
717
00:51:23,900 --> 00:51:26,540
Do you feel sorry
for Tiger's wife, Rachel?
718
00:51:26,620 --> 00:51:28,660
Anything you want
to say to her?
719
00:51:28,740 --> 00:51:32,780
I regret that he was married
and I regret the mistakes that I made.
720
00:51:32,860 --> 00:51:35,500
Rachel, do you guys respect
that Tiger was married?
721
00:51:35,580 --> 00:51:37,780
Why do women cheat
with married men?
722
00:51:37,900 --> 00:51:41,060
But people came at me like
they wanted to blame me
723
00:51:41,140 --> 00:51:46,500
for the fact that a married man
cheated on his wife.
724
00:51:46,580 --> 00:51:48,740
It was like I was
the only one
725
00:51:48,860 --> 00:51:53,740
that was responsible
for Tiger's actions.
726
00:51:53,820 --> 00:51:56,180
- Rachel, how do you say?
- Uchitel.
727
00:51:56,260 --> 00:51:58,660
You could tell she's a hooker.
728
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:01,820
You could tell she's a 'puttan'?
729
00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:03,860
You can tell she's a 'puttan'.
730
00:52:05,300 --> 00:52:09,260
My name was getting dragged
through the mud.
731
00:52:10,140 --> 00:52:13,300
So Rachel, did Tiger live up
to his name, Tiger?
732
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:15,020
What's the nature of your relationship
with Tiger Woods?
733
00:52:15,100 --> 00:52:18,860
- Smile for me, Rachel.
- Guys, please let me get through here.
734
00:52:18,940 --> 00:52:20,380
In the meantime,
735
00:52:20,500 --> 00:52:24,740
none of the people around Tiger
would answer my phone calls.
736
00:52:26,500 --> 00:52:29,340
It made me really start
to question every single thing
737
00:52:29,460 --> 00:52:31,900
that Tiger and I had.
738
00:52:33,780 --> 00:52:37,140
Finally I said, you know what,
I want out of this.
739
00:52:37,220 --> 00:52:40,620
I need to say
what happened.
740
00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:47,100
But before I could tell my story
to the media, Tiger called me.
741
00:52:48,860 --> 00:52:53,500
It was the first time that I spoke
to him since the accident.
742
00:52:55,020 --> 00:52:58,900
He told me that his lawyers
were going to call
743
00:52:59,020 --> 00:53:01,980
about a settlement
of confidentiality.
744
00:53:04,220 --> 00:53:10,700
He said to me,
"Get as much as you can."
745
00:53:11,460 --> 00:53:17,100
And I think to him,
that was his only way to
746
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:21,060
to love me at the time. Yeah.
747
00:53:32,180 --> 00:53:37,420
FEBRUARY 19, 2010
748
00:53:54,060 --> 00:53:57,500
Good morning.
And thank you for joining me.
749
00:53:59,140 --> 00:54:03,060
Many of you in this room
are my friends.
750
00:54:04,260 --> 00:54:08,660
Many of you have cheered for me,
or you worked with me.
751
00:54:09,340 --> 00:54:15,060
Now, every one of you has
good reason to be critical of me.
752
00:54:15,900 --> 00:54:19,820
I have let you down personally
and professionally.
753
00:54:21,580 --> 00:54:25,180
My behavior has caused
considerable worry
754
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:27,300
to my business partners.
755
00:54:27,380 --> 00:54:33,060
I hurt my wife,
my kids, my mother,
756
00:54:33,180 --> 00:54:37,220
and kids all around the world
who admired me.
757
00:54:37,340 --> 00:54:42,620
I know I have bitterly disappointed
all of you.
758
00:54:44,020 --> 00:54:47,140
I have made you question
who I am
759
00:54:47,220 --> 00:54:51,300
and how I could have done
the things I did.
760
00:54:52,060 --> 00:54:56,220
I am embarrassed
that I have put you in this position.
761
00:54:57,780 --> 00:55:00,740
For all that I have done,
762
00:55:02,820 --> 00:55:04,980
I am so sorry.
763
00:55:10,260 --> 00:55:13,180
When he came out
and he apologized,
764
00:55:13,260 --> 00:55:17,300
I think that was a bad move
on his agent's part.
765
00:55:17,380 --> 00:55:20,340
I think I would have had him
read a statement.
766
00:55:20,460 --> 00:55:23,340
"Whatever's going on
between my wife and I,
767
00:55:23,420 --> 00:55:27,420
that's my business,
that's not yours."
768
00:55:27,540 --> 00:55:31,860
And if I lost some fans
or endorsements, so be it.
769
00:55:36,740 --> 00:55:39,780
I felt real sadness.
770
00:55:39,860 --> 00:55:42,260
I felt sadness for Tida,
771
00:55:42,420 --> 00:55:46,180
as much pride as she took
in her son, how she loves Tiger,
772
00:55:46,300 --> 00:55:49,380
I knew it was very hard for her.
773
00:55:50,620 --> 00:55:54,100
And then I felt for his children.
774
00:55:54,180 --> 00:55:57,420
They were too young really
to know what was going on.
775
00:55:57,500 --> 00:56:02,300
But eventually, they were gonna
find out some negative stuff
776
00:56:02,380 --> 00:56:06,380
that no child should never have
to read or hear about.
777
00:56:07,860 --> 00:56:12,140
But the main person I felt sad for
was Elin
778
00:56:12,220 --> 00:56:15,500
because he had hurt her mightily.
779
00:56:16,220 --> 00:56:19,620
Elin, how are you?
Do you still love Tiger, Elin?
780
00:56:21,060 --> 00:56:25,860
What do you think of his fourteen
mistresses? Will you ever forgive him?
781
00:56:28,300 --> 00:56:32,900
Elin felt downright hunted
by the paparazzi.
782
00:56:32,980 --> 00:56:37,020
Worse, she felt
like her children were hunted.
783
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:41,020
How are the kids, Elin?
Has Tiger seen the kids, Elin?
784
00:56:41,460 --> 00:56:44,660
You know, to think of how
she told me at the beginning
785
00:56:44,780 --> 00:56:51,820
she felt like it was her and Tiger
cocooned and joined.
786
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:54,100
Us against the world.
787
00:56:55,300 --> 00:56:58,860
Elin, the whole world wants to know
how you're holding up.
788
00:56:58,980 --> 00:57:04,580
To then all of a sudden have it be
the world all closing in on her,
789
00:57:04,700 --> 00:57:06,740
for a scandal not her making.
790
00:57:06,860 --> 00:57:09,180
Man, it was freezing today
in New York.
791
00:57:09,300 --> 00:57:13,100
It's like a phone call between
Tiger Woods and his wife out there.
792
00:57:13,180 --> 00:57:16,060
She was like,
"Look, Tiger, it's either me or her
793
00:57:16,140 --> 00:57:18,260
or her, or her, or her, or her,
794
00:57:18,340 --> 00:57:21,780
Not the Perkins waitress,
but the other one, or her or her."
795
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:25,580
As the scandal
was still kind of unspooling,
796
00:57:25,660 --> 00:57:29,220
Elin moved with the children
to a rental house
797
00:57:29,340 --> 00:57:31,060
not far from their home
798
00:57:31,140 --> 00:57:35,780
so she could just kind of get out
of Tiger's space and think.
799
00:57:36,260 --> 00:57:39,100
But it all kind of just
became too much.
800
00:57:39,180 --> 00:57:44,020
And she just sat down amid the kinda
moving boxes with their stuff.
801
00:57:45,700 --> 00:57:47,900
And she's sitting there,
and Sam came over
802
00:57:48,020 --> 00:57:51,540
and said, you know,
"What's wrong, Mommy?"
803
00:57:51,620 --> 00:57:55,180
And Elin told her, you know,
"Mommy's got a boo boo."
804
00:57:55,260 --> 00:58:00,180
And Sam said, you know, "Well where?
I'll kiss it and make it feel better."
805
00:58:00,300 --> 00:58:05,180
And Elin said,
"It's in mommy's heart."
806
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:16,660
What she went through and how she
tried to shelter her kids from that,
807
00:58:16,740 --> 00:58:19,180
it was real.
808
00:58:20,860 --> 00:58:25,980
She was so blindsided
by her whole life
809
00:58:26,060 --> 00:58:29,420
being suddenly exposed
as a lie.
810
00:58:30,540 --> 00:58:32,620
And that was shattering.
811
00:58:33,900 --> 00:58:37,340
Tiger Woods reportedly is working out
a big money settlement
812
00:58:37,420 --> 00:58:39,420
ending his five year marriage.
813
00:58:39,540 --> 00:58:42,020
The details of the divorce
may never be known,
814
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:46,580
though some estimate Elin may receive
upwards of 100 million dollars.
815
00:58:46,660 --> 00:58:49,820
Can anybody explain
these divorce settlements?
816
00:58:49,900 --> 00:58:51,940
Can anybody make sense
of these fucking things?
817
00:58:52,020 --> 00:58:54,820
Tiger Woods' wife,
250 million dollars?
818
00:58:54,900 --> 00:58:59,100
Dude, there is an epidemic
of gold-digging whores in this country.
819
00:59:01,100 --> 00:59:08,340
Elin's story too often got warped
into gold-digging, scorned woman.
820
00:59:09,620 --> 00:59:12,780
Miss Nordegren,
are you happy with the divorce?
821
00:59:13,900 --> 00:59:17,460
But she would say something
really telling that,
822
00:59:17,540 --> 00:59:21,380
"Money can't put
my family back together."
823
00:59:28,060 --> 00:59:31,660
APRIL 3, 2010
824
00:59:31,820 --> 00:59:35,540
After six weeks of rehab at Pine
Grove Treatment Center in Mississippi,
825
00:59:35,660 --> 00:59:37,620
known for treating sexual addiction,
826
00:59:37,700 --> 00:59:40,540
Tiger is out of rehab back at home
in Florida.
827
00:59:43,700 --> 00:59:45,260
When Tiger returned,
828
00:59:45,380 --> 00:59:48,900
I knew that he was
in a poor mental frame.
829
00:59:48,980 --> 00:59:51,140
And I went down to see him.
830
00:59:53,780 --> 00:59:56,540
Obviously paparazzi are trying
to get photos,
831
00:59:56,620 --> 00:59:59,940
so he had his house
all boarded up.
832
01:00:00,020 --> 01:00:02,620
Just as private as he could be.
833
01:00:04,980 --> 01:00:09,180
Tiger was quite aloof that day,
and it didn't bother me
834
01:00:09,300 --> 01:00:12,340
because I understood
what he was going through.
835
01:00:12,460 --> 01:00:16,020
He's been out of the game,
he's been crucified in the media.
836
01:00:16,100 --> 01:00:17,580
You know,
what's he gonna do next?
837
01:00:17,740 --> 01:00:21,980
Is he gonna walk away from the game?
There's a lot of uncertainty.
838
01:00:22,060 --> 01:00:24,060
So I laid it all out
on the table for him.
839
01:00:24,180 --> 01:00:27,500
And I asked
what he wanted to do.
840
01:00:27,580 --> 01:00:32,060
And he said to me, "I'm going
to play in the 2010 Masters."
841
01:00:41,140 --> 01:00:44,060
How will you explain this
to your children
842
01:00:44,140 --> 01:00:45,740
when they're old enough
to understand?
843
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:49,220
I will have that sit-down talk.
I take full ownership of it. I did it.
844
01:00:49,340 --> 01:00:51,460
No one else did.
It was just me.
845
01:00:51,540 --> 01:00:54,900
And that's the responsibility
that I will have.
846
01:00:54,980 --> 01:00:58,220
I will talk to my kids for however
long they want to talk about it.
847
01:00:58,300 --> 01:01:01,260
That is a conversation
that will need to be had.
848
01:01:01,340 --> 01:01:04,580
Tiger, you've been
a master of control your entire life.
849
01:01:04,660 --> 01:01:07,620
How did things get
so out of control?
850
01:01:07,740 --> 01:01:10,740
Going against your core values
and losing sight of them.
851
01:01:10,820 --> 01:01:14,180
I felt entitled,
and that is not how I was raised.
852
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:16,380
The Masters is a demanding stage
on its own,
853
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:18,860
let alone for a return
of this magnitude.
854
01:01:18,980 --> 01:01:21,460
How do you know
you're mentally prepared for this?
855
01:01:21,540 --> 01:01:24,620
Well I'm excited
to get back and play.
856
01:01:24,700 --> 01:01:29,260
I miss the game.
But still, playing is one thing.
857
01:01:29,340 --> 01:01:32,460
But the public,
I am a little nervous about them.
858
01:01:32,580 --> 01:01:36,300
It would be nice to hear
a couple claps here and there.
859
01:01:39,740 --> 01:01:43,380
We are not unaware
of the significance of this week
860
01:01:43,460 --> 01:01:46,700
to a very special player,
Tiger Woods.
861
01:01:46,820 --> 01:01:51,220
It is not simply the degree of his
conduct that is so egregious here.
862
01:01:51,300 --> 01:01:54,540
It is the fact that he disappointed
all of us,
863
01:01:54,620 --> 01:01:58,260
and more importantly, our kids
and our grandkids.
864
01:01:58,340 --> 01:02:02,980
Our hero did not live up
to the expectations of the role model
865
01:02:03,060 --> 01:02:05,540
we sought for our children.
866
01:02:05,620 --> 01:02:07,820
Is there a way forward?
867
01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:13,260
We at Augusta hope and pray
that our great champion
868
01:02:13,340 --> 01:02:15,900
will begin his new life
here tomorrow
869
01:02:16,020 --> 01:02:19,980
in a positive, hopeful,
and constructive manner.
870
01:02:20,660 --> 01:02:23,500
But certainly, his future
will never again be measured
871
01:02:23,660 --> 01:02:26,380
only by his performance
against par,
872
01:02:26,460 --> 01:02:30,980
but measured by the sincerity
of his efforts to change.
873
01:02:32,820 --> 01:02:36,380
One of the things that I never
got over in Augusta is the feeling
874
01:02:36,460 --> 01:02:41,500
that there's this thin undercurrent
of racism right below the surface.
875
01:02:43,820 --> 01:02:46,140
It was not the place
or the tournament
876
01:02:46,220 --> 01:02:50,660
to chastise a former champion,
especially a champion of color.
877
01:02:50,740 --> 01:02:54,620
Do you think that they would
have done that to Fred Couples?
878
01:02:54,700 --> 01:02:57,940
Do you think they would
have done that to Nick Faldo?
879
01:02:58,020 --> 01:03:01,140
I felt like it was a public whipping.
880
01:03:02,260 --> 01:03:06,940
Ladies and gentlemen, the 2010
Masters has now officially begun.
881
01:03:07,020 --> 01:03:08,660
Have fun.
882
01:03:08,740 --> 01:03:13,260
Yeah, basically, basically,
it was a public whipping.
883
01:03:13,340 --> 01:03:15,940
What Billy Payne did at Augusta,
884
01:03:16,060 --> 01:03:21,100
to sit there and scold Tiger,
it was disgusting.
885
01:03:22,140 --> 01:03:25,300
Tiger's family, his wife,
886
01:03:25,420 --> 01:03:30,900
they had a right to be angry,
disappointed, upset.
887
01:03:31,020 --> 01:03:33,660
Not the chairman
of some damn golf club.
888
01:03:33,780 --> 01:03:35,300
Who the hell are you?
889
01:03:38,180 --> 01:03:40,860
Now to the long anticipated return
of Tiger Woods,
890
01:03:40,940 --> 01:03:44,340
his first pro tournament
since he left the game in scandal.
891
01:03:47,380 --> 01:03:50,580
I was on the first tee
when he came out that morning.
892
01:03:52,820 --> 01:03:56,220
There was embarrassment
and humiliation off the charts.
893
01:03:56,300 --> 01:03:58,500
SEX ADDICT?
YEAH, RIGHT. ME TOO!
894
01:03:58,580 --> 01:04:03,980
I cannot imagine all of that emotion
being bottled up inside you.
895
01:04:04,060 --> 01:04:07,340
Players are looking at him,
the fans are looking at him,
896
01:04:07,500 --> 01:04:08,900
the television's looking at him,
897
01:04:08,980 --> 01:04:12,100
which means the world
is looking at him.
898
01:04:26,100 --> 01:04:27,620
Good tee shot on the first hole.
899
01:04:27,740 --> 01:04:29,780
And I don't care who you are,
Tiger Woods or whoever,
900
01:04:29,900 --> 01:04:31,780
this first tee shot is nerve-racking.
901
01:04:31,900 --> 01:04:34,380
But so far,
it looks like business as usual.
902
01:04:36,300 --> 01:04:39,700
- Oh, look at that thing turn.
- I sense he loves that.
903
01:04:39,780 --> 01:04:43,540
- Oh, that was an incredible golf shot.
- Oh, my goodness.
904
01:04:44,860 --> 01:04:50,060
Tiger loves and craves and needs
that competitiveness
905
01:04:50,220 --> 01:04:52,900
that comes with the game,
906
01:04:52,980 --> 01:04:58,180
but I'm not sure
it was the best way for him
907
01:04:58,260 --> 01:05:01,340
to cope with everything.
908
01:05:01,460 --> 01:05:06,580
A lot has happened in my life
over the past five months
909
01:05:06,780 --> 01:05:12,740
and I'm here at the Masters
to play and compete,
910
01:05:12,820 --> 01:05:15,660
and nothing's changed.
911
01:05:15,780 --> 01:05:17,860
I'm trying to go out there
and win this thing.
912
01:05:17,940 --> 01:05:21,220
It seemed like he was trying
to just sort of put it behind him
913
01:05:21,380 --> 01:05:23,460
and keep moving forward.
914
01:05:25,660 --> 01:05:29,060
But as his friend,
I could feel that something,
915
01:05:29,140 --> 01:05:31,060
something was not right.
916
01:05:31,180 --> 01:05:33,860
Oh. There it is.
917
01:05:36,140 --> 01:05:40,540
I knew that deep down,
Tiger was incredibly sad,
918
01:05:40,660 --> 01:05:45,820
lost, broken up,
and very vulnerable.
919
01:05:46,940 --> 01:05:49,980
After the crash,
I remember just thinking,
920
01:05:50,060 --> 01:05:53,300
this is when he probably needs
his friends the most.
921
01:05:53,820 --> 01:05:58,300
I tried to reach out,
but he had shut his phone off.
922
01:05:59,700 --> 01:06:01,980
I thought, you know,
maybe in a couple weeks,
923
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:04,140
as things died down,
maybe he'd reach out.
924
01:06:04,260 --> 01:06:05,900
But the longer it went on,
925
01:06:06,020 --> 01:06:10,500
I realized I had been
completely cut out of his life.
926
01:06:12,460 --> 01:06:16,500
He grew up in an environment
where feelings were not discussed
927
01:06:16,580 --> 01:06:23,060
and I think he doesn't understand
how to deal with complex emotions.
928
01:06:24,220 --> 01:06:28,340
Instead of having to actually
process something like that,
929
01:06:28,420 --> 01:06:32,540
I think it was more easy
to cut people out of his life.
930
01:06:35,300 --> 01:06:38,460
Years of friendship,
and all of a sudden,
931
01:06:38,580 --> 01:06:41,620
never heard from Tiger again.
932
01:06:42,220 --> 01:06:46,460
It felt like my friend had died.
933
01:06:47,340 --> 01:06:50,660
Just to be sort of discarded
like that,
934
01:06:50,780 --> 01:06:53,660
there was a lot of hurt
that went along with that.
935
01:06:57,620 --> 01:06:59,940
After such a long and difficult
absence from the game,
936
01:07:00,060 --> 01:07:02,700
can you put this week
in perspective for us? For you?
937
01:07:02,820 --> 01:07:05,620
Yeah, I finished fourth.
Not what I wanted.
938
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:07,340
I wanted to win
this tournament
939
01:07:07,420 --> 01:07:09,540
and I didn't get it done.
940
01:07:09,660 --> 01:07:11,060
I didn't hit the ball good enough
941
01:07:11,140 --> 01:07:13,980
and I made too many mistakes
around the greens.
942
01:07:14,060 --> 01:07:16,260
Consequently, I'm not there.
943
01:07:16,340 --> 01:07:18,060
Any idea after this performance
this week
944
01:07:18,140 --> 01:07:19,580
when we might see you again?
945
01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:22,740
No. I wanna take a little time off
and kinda reevaluate things.
946
01:07:22,820 --> 01:07:25,820
Thank you for your time
and thank you for being here.
947
01:07:29,340 --> 01:07:34,260
After the Masters, Tiger took a little
bit of a break away from the game,
948
01:07:34,340 --> 01:07:39,780
just to get his mind free, as well
as deal with some niggling injuries.
949
01:07:41,460 --> 01:07:43,700
As a caddy for Tiger Woods,
and a great friend of his,
950
01:07:43,780 --> 01:07:47,100
I wanted to deeply respect
what he was going through.
951
01:07:48,020 --> 01:07:51,180
But I still didn't know
when he was gonna be playing again.
952
01:07:51,300 --> 01:07:53,980
I was just expecting a phone call
at any moment to say,
953
01:07:54,060 --> 01:07:57,420
"Oh, I'm playing next week, get your
shit together and get over here."
954
01:07:58,020 --> 01:08:00,780
There was a lot of uncertainty.
955
01:08:00,860 --> 01:08:03,620
So when a friend that I'd caddied for
before called me
956
01:08:03,700 --> 01:08:05,460
and asked me
could I caddy for him,
957
01:08:05,540 --> 01:08:09,060
I ran that by Tiger and he said,
"Absolutely, no problem."
958
01:08:09,660 --> 01:08:11,860
But then, couple days
before the tournament,
959
01:08:11,980 --> 01:08:14,260
Tiger changed his mind.
960
01:08:14,340 --> 01:08:16,740
He had his agent call, and he said,
961
01:08:16,820 --> 01:08:18,620
"If you go and caddy
for your friend,
962
01:08:18,740 --> 01:08:22,180
that'll be the end of your time
caddying for Tiger."
963
01:08:22,260 --> 01:08:25,580
And I thought, "There's just no way
the guy's gonna fire me."
964
01:08:26,540 --> 01:08:28,900
But a couple days
after the tournament,
965
01:08:29,020 --> 01:08:32,900
I got the phone call to say
that that was, our time was ended.
966
01:08:35,500 --> 01:08:37,140
I believed in my own heart,
967
01:08:37,220 --> 01:08:39,940
I gave it a hundred percent
when I caddied for Tiger,
968
01:08:40,060 --> 01:08:42,100
for the entire time
that I was with him.
969
01:08:42,180 --> 01:08:47,140
And then, for him
to fire me over that kind of thing,
970
01:08:47,220 --> 01:08:49,780
I found that pretty unusual.
971
01:08:49,900 --> 01:08:53,020
Sometimes we all need changes.
972
01:08:53,100 --> 01:08:56,300
And this was a change and,
as I told you guys earlier,
973
01:08:56,380 --> 01:08:57,940
I was at peace with it.
974
01:08:58,020 --> 01:09:01,420
And it was the decision
and direction I wanted to go.
975
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:03,260
And that's it.
976
01:09:04,180 --> 01:09:08,380
When he fired me, I thought
he was firing me as a golf caddy,
977
01:09:08,500 --> 01:09:10,620
not firing me as a friend.
978
01:09:13,620 --> 01:09:16,020
He adds another major
to the tally.
979
01:09:16,180 --> 01:09:18,220
And a thanks to Steve Williams.
980
01:09:18,300 --> 01:09:20,820
They have been
a tremendous partnership.
981
01:09:21,860 --> 01:09:24,780
Tiger was the best man
at my wedding.
982
01:09:24,860 --> 01:09:28,460
I didn't think we'd have no
communication for the rest of our life.
983
01:09:28,540 --> 01:09:31,220
That just didn't even enter
my mind.
984
01:09:33,020 --> 01:09:36,100
To this day, I find that
a hard pill to swallow.
985
01:09:36,620 --> 01:09:39,620
Someone that you spend
thirteen years with,
986
01:09:39,700 --> 01:09:43,540
you give all your time
and all your effort,
987
01:09:43,620 --> 01:09:46,820
the guy can't even speak to you.
988
01:09:47,500 --> 01:09:49,580
I felt that it was time for me
to go
989
01:09:49,660 --> 01:09:52,460
in a different direction
in my professional life.
990
01:09:52,580 --> 01:09:55,460
So far as personally,
991
01:09:55,620 --> 01:09:58,180
life goes forward
and just keep moving forward.
992
01:09:58,300 --> 01:10:02,740
Tiger sacrificed so much in order
to become the greatest player.
993
01:10:02,820 --> 01:10:04,740
He certainly had
the mental strength
994
01:10:04,820 --> 01:10:08,220
to block out whatever
he needed to block out.
995
01:10:08,300 --> 01:10:13,740
But that ability made it possible
to shut off his friends and family.
996
01:10:15,020 --> 01:10:19,260
And at the end of the day,
his only focus was to win.
997
01:10:22,660 --> 01:10:27,500
It was quite sad,
but that was just the reality of it.
998
01:10:38,660 --> 01:10:41,740
It's a pleasure to watch
greatness in action, isn't it?
999
01:10:42,420 --> 01:10:46,300
When we look at Tiger, we often wonder
what's going through his mind.
1000
01:10:46,380 --> 01:10:48,940
What we wouldn't give
to know his thoughts.
1001
01:10:53,900 --> 01:10:57,980
That's pretty good. That's quality
control, ladies and gentlemen.
1002
01:10:59,380 --> 01:11:06,060
In 2013, Tiger was winning at a clip
that called to mind his prime years.
1003
01:11:07,020 --> 01:11:09,180
Tiger Woods sends a message
1004
01:11:09,260 --> 01:11:11,740
with a win in his first tournament
of the season.
1005
01:11:11,820 --> 01:11:15,580
And all of a sudden,
everybody breathed a sigh of relief.
1006
01:11:16,180 --> 01:11:20,580
Fans seemed to have forgotten
they had humiliated him.
1007
01:11:22,060 --> 01:11:25,940
Because now, he was back
to being the machine.
1008
01:11:26,820 --> 01:11:28,580
On a really elemental level,
1009
01:11:28,700 --> 01:11:32,100
people weren't even looking
at Tiger as a person.
1010
01:11:32,180 --> 01:11:35,180
They were looking at him
as a performer.
1011
01:11:41,940 --> 01:11:45,420
- How 'bout this one?
- How 'bout that one?
1012
01:11:46,420 --> 01:11:48,540
That would have been
the best four of all time.
1013
01:11:48,620 --> 01:11:52,620
Tiger Woods,
number one in the world again.
1014
01:11:53,620 --> 01:11:57,500
2013 became this dominant period.
1015
01:11:59,740 --> 01:12:02,380
And Nike came out with this ad,
1016
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:04,980
"Winning Takes Care
of Everything."
1017
01:12:06,620 --> 01:12:07,700
In your career,
1018
01:12:07,820 --> 01:12:11,060
this is the quickest you've gotten
in one season to four victories.
1019
01:12:11,140 --> 01:12:13,260
How would you describe
the way you're playing golf right now?
1020
01:12:13,380 --> 01:12:15,180
I'm getting better.
1021
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:17,660
- That's it?
- That's it.
1022
01:12:18,820 --> 01:12:23,300
He's asked so often about whether
or not he's back to the form of 2000,
1023
01:12:23,380 --> 01:12:25,540
those historic, epic years.
1024
01:12:25,620 --> 01:12:28,220
His game looks good,
and his putting is fantastic,
1025
01:12:28,340 --> 01:12:33,300
and his irons are really good.
Looks pretty much a done deal.
1026
01:12:37,460 --> 01:12:39,420
Is it going to cut?
1027
01:12:41,660 --> 01:12:43,900
- He went down in pain.
- He is down.
1028
01:12:53,220 --> 01:12:55,980
It was an extraordinary sight.
1029
01:12:56,060 --> 01:13:00,300
We know that he has
a high high tolerance for pain.
1030
01:13:00,500 --> 01:13:05,220
I mean the guy won the U.S. Open
on a broken leg.
1031
01:13:05,340 --> 01:13:09,100
So you can only imagine how
excruciating the pain must have been
1032
01:13:09,220 --> 01:13:12,540
for him to fall to his knees in the way
that he did at that tournament.
1033
01:13:16,100 --> 01:13:19,220
- Oh, he's hurting.
- Yep. There is something wrong.
1034
01:13:20,500 --> 01:13:24,460
His swing was violent.
Like frighteningly violent.
1035
01:13:25,700 --> 01:13:31,180
Think of the number of repetitions
that it took to perfect that swing.
1036
01:13:36,820 --> 01:13:39,900
He started doing it
when he was just a baby,
1037
01:13:40,020 --> 01:13:42,380
and the body can only stand
so much.
1038
01:13:43,980 --> 01:13:47,580
Since you've won your last major,
you've gotten a little older,
1039
01:13:47,700 --> 01:13:50,580
you've had the injury,
you've had the divorce.
1040
01:13:50,660 --> 01:13:53,460
What's been the most significant?
1041
01:13:54,380 --> 01:13:57,220
Probably your first point.
I'm older.
1042
01:13:58,340 --> 01:14:00,340
Father time's undefeated.
1043
01:14:00,420 --> 01:14:05,300
We all eventually start losing
some of the things
1044
01:14:05,380 --> 01:14:07,460
we were able to do
when we were younger.
1045
01:14:07,540 --> 01:14:13,100
He told us that during this time,
his back would spasm.
1046
01:14:13,180 --> 01:14:16,580
One time, he fell to his knees
and he was like a pillbug.
1047
01:14:16,660 --> 01:14:17,940
He couldn't get up.
1048
01:14:18,020 --> 01:14:22,700
He had to have his daughter, Sam,
call for help.
1049
01:14:25,300 --> 01:14:31,660
That's when he realized, I can only
control so much of this for so long,
1050
01:14:32,260 --> 01:14:37,740
but everybody else still wants to see
golf's god.
1051
01:14:37,820 --> 01:14:42,220
And I can't give them that
because I'm just a man.
1052
01:14:43,460 --> 01:14:48,020
And I think that recognition
broke him mentally.
1053
01:14:50,300 --> 01:14:52,820
Uh-oh. Wow.
1054
01:14:53,620 --> 01:14:56,340
That was unbelievable.
1055
01:14:56,540 --> 01:14:58,460
For me,
I remember thinking,
1056
01:14:58,580 --> 01:15:03,780
"What has Tiger done to Tiger Woods?"
I mean, he was wrecking himself.
1057
01:15:03,900 --> 01:15:07,620
Mental strength. That was
always his greatest skill.
1058
01:15:07,740 --> 01:15:10,900
And then all of a sudden,
he's got the chipping yips.
1059
01:15:13,140 --> 01:15:16,740
How did Tiger Woods shoot his worst
round as a pro on the PGA Tour?
1060
01:15:16,820 --> 01:15:21,300
Chipping was a disaster.
The scorecard was almost surreal.
1061
01:15:21,380 --> 01:15:23,820
Golf is all about confidence.
1062
01:15:23,940 --> 01:15:27,300
You've got to trust
how you're gonna strike the golf ball.
1063
01:15:27,420 --> 01:15:31,540
Tiger chipping again.
We're all going to pay attention.
1064
01:15:31,620 --> 01:15:35,300
You sort of have this feeling he could
chip it closer with his eyes closed.
1065
01:15:35,380 --> 01:15:40,940
If you lose that confidence, your
career is on a slippery slope downhill.
1066
01:15:41,020 --> 01:15:42,900
He doesn't know
what the problem is.
1067
01:15:42,980 --> 01:15:46,940
I feel he is as confused
as he's ever been.
1068
01:15:47,020 --> 01:15:50,580
Watching Tiger struggle,
it was like, wow.
1069
01:15:52,460 --> 01:15:55,580
This wasn't the Tiger
that I knew.
1070
01:15:55,660 --> 01:15:59,340
When he was a kid, he could
make any shot he wanted to.
1071
01:16:00,460 --> 01:16:02,340
Go in!
1072
01:16:03,020 --> 01:16:06,620
I remember one time
when I was over his house,
1073
01:16:06,740 --> 01:16:09,700
and Earl and Tida and me
and Tiger in the living room,
1074
01:16:09,860 --> 01:16:13,100
I'm talking with them, all of a sudden
this ball comes over my shoulder.
1075
01:16:13,180 --> 01:16:16,380
He's hitting them over the couch,
over my shoulder,
1076
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:20,020
over the glass table and stopping
them before the fireplace.
1077
01:16:20,140 --> 01:16:24,140
Okay, he did one, right, I'm thinking,
"Okay, that was luck."
1078
01:16:24,220 --> 01:16:27,100
Does it again, does it again,
does it again.
1079
01:16:27,180 --> 01:16:30,220
He used to be able to do
all these crazy shots.
1080
01:16:31,540 --> 01:16:34,540
From one bunker to another.
1081
01:16:35,580 --> 01:16:39,620
But it was just crash and burn.
1082
01:16:41,940 --> 01:16:45,700
Tiger Woods has not won
a major since 2009?
1083
01:16:45,820 --> 01:16:47,620
Eight.
1084
01:16:48,300 --> 01:16:50,460
- How 'bout Jack Nicklaus?
- What about him?
1085
01:16:50,540 --> 01:16:53,100
- He has 18 and you're at 14.
- I'm at 14, correct.
1086
01:16:53,180 --> 01:16:54,780
So I'm struggling to understand
1087
01:16:54,900 --> 01:16:57,260
why you're not playing
like you used to play.
1088
01:16:57,340 --> 01:17:01,020
I've had three back operations.
And that's taken its toll on me.
1089
01:17:01,100 --> 01:17:06,220
When you look at losing it, it must be
terribly hard for you to accept this.
1090
01:17:06,300 --> 01:17:10,020
It's been terribly hard
not to be able to do the things
1091
01:17:10,100 --> 01:17:13,620
that it would take for me
to get to that level.
1092
01:17:14,580 --> 01:17:16,620
And that is simply
just practicing.
1093
01:17:21,180 --> 01:17:25,140
Tiger Woods has pulled out of golf's
first major of the year, the Masters.
1094
01:17:25,260 --> 01:17:28,580
He said he's just not tournament
ready due to his troublesome back.
1095
01:17:28,700 --> 01:17:31,180
The fourteen-time major winner won
his first major
1096
01:17:31,300 --> 01:17:34,380
at the Masters
twenty years ago.
1097
01:17:37,340 --> 01:17:42,380
At the 2017 Masters,
we knew something serious was up.
1098
01:17:44,740 --> 01:17:47,540
Tiger came to the Champions Dinner
at Augusta,
1099
01:17:47,660 --> 01:17:51,300
and he was sitting there
with Jack Nicklaus.
1100
01:17:51,420 --> 01:17:55,860
And you could visibly see he was in so
much pain from his back into his legs.
1101
01:17:55,940 --> 01:17:58,260
He couldn't sit still,
poor bugger, you know.
1102
01:17:58,340 --> 01:18:01,020
And he said to Jack,
"I think I'm done.
1103
01:18:02,660 --> 01:18:04,980
My career is finished."
1104
01:18:06,540 --> 01:18:09,100
What are you going to do
if you're Tiger Woods,
1105
01:18:09,180 --> 01:18:11,740
and you're in your early 40s,
1106
01:18:11,820 --> 01:18:14,380
and the thing that's made
your whole life possible
1107
01:18:14,460 --> 01:18:18,940
and defined your whole life,
that gets taken away from you?
1108
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:26,500
The entire identity of Tiger Woods
is bound in his golf.
1109
01:18:26,660 --> 01:18:33,180
And to that degree, there's only
one path to the endline of his golf,
1110
01:18:33,260 --> 01:18:38,460
which is undisputedly, undeniably,
the greatest of all time.
1111
01:18:38,540 --> 01:18:40,260
So if he's gotta leave golf,
1112
01:18:40,380 --> 01:18:44,980
and can't really say he's worn
the mantle of the greatest of all time,
1113
01:18:45,060 --> 01:18:46,740
then really where is he?
1114
01:18:46,820 --> 01:18:49,660
Because that has been
his entire identity.
1115
01:18:49,740 --> 01:18:54,500
And that just had to be untenable
for him I would think.
1116
01:19:01,020 --> 01:19:06,420
MAY 29, 2017
1117
01:19:32,180 --> 01:19:33,820
Do you know
where you're at right now?
1118
01:19:33,900 --> 01:19:36,620
- Ah, I do not know.
- You have no idea? Okay.
1119
01:19:40,980 --> 01:19:42,900
- Have you been drinking tonight?
- No.
1120
01:19:42,980 --> 01:19:45,060
No? Are you sure about that?
1121
01:19:48,020 --> 01:19:51,460
- Have you taken any medication?
- Actually, yes.
1122
01:19:51,580 --> 01:19:54,980
Why don't you go
and hop out for me real quick.
1123
01:19:55,100 --> 01:19:57,620
Mr. Woods, go ahead
and stand with your feet together
1124
01:19:57,740 --> 01:20:00,340
and your arms down by your side.
1125
01:20:00,420 --> 01:20:02,380
Okay. Don't begin
until I tell you to, okay,
1126
01:20:02,460 --> 01:20:04,380
but when I tell you to,
I want you to close your eyes
1127
01:20:04,460 --> 01:20:05,860
and tilt your head backwards
1128
01:20:05,940 --> 01:20:08,620
and you're gonna recite
the entire English alphabet
1129
01:20:08,700 --> 01:20:13,300
in a slow, non-rhythmic manner,
meaning you're not gonna sing it, okay?
1130
01:20:13,380 --> 01:20:17,300
- Do you understand the instructions?
- I do.
1131
01:20:17,380 --> 01:20:19,980
Okay, what were
the instructions?
1132
01:20:20,060 --> 01:20:22,660
Not to sing
the national anthem backwards.
1133
01:20:22,780 --> 01:20:25,900
Not to sing
the national anthem backwards?
1134
01:20:27,180 --> 01:20:28,700
Okay, sir. What I want you to do
is go ahead
1135
01:20:28,820 --> 01:20:31,460
and place your hands
behind your back, okay?
1136
01:20:35,420 --> 01:20:37,580
Troubling new headline
for Tiger Woods.
1137
01:20:37,660 --> 01:20:39,900
Legendary golfer
was arrested overnight.
1138
01:20:39,980 --> 01:20:43,380
Five drugs in his system.
Xanax, ambien, pain killers.
1139
01:20:43,460 --> 01:20:45,340
If you take
an opioid pain reliever,
1140
01:20:45,420 --> 01:20:46,900
and he's had back surgeries,
1141
01:20:46,980 --> 01:20:50,300
too often, a patient like that
ends up addicted to opioids.
1142
01:20:50,380 --> 01:20:53,380
Don't get behind the wheel.
Don't endanger my family.
1143
01:20:53,460 --> 01:20:56,220
This was another bad decision
by Tiger Woods.
1144
01:21:01,660 --> 01:21:05,100
It's painful to watch that tape.
1145
01:21:05,180 --> 01:21:08,740
Go ahead and stand on that yellow X
and face the front of the room.
1146
01:21:08,900 --> 01:21:10,860
But it's also revealing.
1147
01:21:12,140 --> 01:21:13,500
Turn around.
1148
01:21:13,620 --> 01:21:14,980
Here, one of the most powerful,
1149
01:21:15,060 --> 01:21:17,940
one of the wealthiest athletes
in the history of sports,
1150
01:21:18,020 --> 01:21:19,900
is in a holding cell
1151
01:21:19,980 --> 01:21:23,820
for having five different
prescribed drugs in his system.
1152
01:21:23,900 --> 01:21:26,060
Okay. You may begin.
1153
01:21:26,700 --> 01:21:29,780
Today is May 29, 2017.
1154
01:21:30,260 --> 01:21:34,100
I have arrested
and charged Eldrick Tiger Woods.
1155
01:21:34,180 --> 01:21:39,460
Tiger Woods has spent most of his life
with a camera pointed at him.
1156
01:21:42,380 --> 01:21:45,300
The second that camera
is pointed at you...
1157
01:21:45,380 --> 01:21:47,460
Fuck me.
1158
01:21:47,540 --> 01:21:52,300
...you want to try to control
the image to the degree you can,
1159
01:21:52,380 --> 01:21:55,060
knowing that often you can't.
1160
01:21:57,420 --> 01:22:01,180
But on that night,
Tiger is still being filmed...
1161
01:22:02,220 --> 01:22:05,460
Watch, look. I'm gonna need
two samples of your breath.
1162
01:22:05,540 --> 01:22:08,420
...and even though
he's deeply impaired...
1163
01:22:08,500 --> 01:22:12,500
Blow. Good, there you go.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
1164
01:22:12,620 --> 01:22:15,860
...it's some of the most
truthful moments of his life
1165
01:22:15,940 --> 01:22:19,900
because he realizes it's all over.
1166
01:22:20,060 --> 01:22:24,060
And there was
no way to hide from it.
1167
01:22:24,140 --> 01:22:25,460
Seeing his mugshot there,
1168
01:22:25,540 --> 01:22:27,420
it's not the Tiger Woods
a lot of us are used to seeing.
1169
01:22:27,500 --> 01:22:29,100
That picture,
he should look at it.
1170
01:22:29,220 --> 01:22:31,740
He's completely lost touch
with his image.
1171
01:22:31,820 --> 01:22:34,180
His golf career,
it's virtually non-existent.
1172
01:22:34,260 --> 01:22:36,180
He's never gonna dominate
and win again.
1173
01:22:36,260 --> 01:22:38,060
It's at a point now
where the next press release
1174
01:22:38,140 --> 01:22:40,540
Tiger Woods should release
should be, "I'm retiring."
1175
01:22:40,620 --> 01:22:42,660
Tiger Woods is finished.
1176
01:22:49,100 --> 01:22:53,460
I remember thinking,
"Wow, is this how it ends?
1177
01:22:54,420 --> 01:22:58,100
This is how it ends.
After everything."
1178
01:22:59,740 --> 01:23:02,420
After all the pontifications
and pronouncements
1179
01:23:02,500 --> 01:23:05,580
about Tiger being the Chosen One,
1180
01:23:05,700 --> 01:23:10,700
this once-in-a-multi
generational athlete,
1181
01:23:10,820 --> 01:23:12,100
who had been inspiring people
1182
01:23:12,180 --> 01:23:16,140
in ways people
have never been inspired before,
1183
01:23:16,220 --> 01:23:19,260
he was just a guy
in need of a hell of a lot of help.
1184
01:23:21,420 --> 01:23:25,420
This is the tragic ending
that no one wants to write.
1185
01:23:27,820 --> 01:23:32,820
Okay, Mr. Woods,
gotta read you your rights.
1186
01:23:32,900 --> 01:23:35,180
You have the right to remain silent
and not answer...
1187
01:23:35,300 --> 01:23:38,380
I had seen it on the news,
but I didn't watch it.
1188
01:23:38,460 --> 01:23:40,380
People were telling me,
"You gotta see the video.
1189
01:23:40,460 --> 01:23:44,620
It's horrible, it's awful, he looks
so bad, and he's done, he's a mess."
1190
01:23:44,700 --> 01:23:47,180
And I just thought,
I didn't really wanna see it.
1191
01:23:47,260 --> 01:23:54,140
There was just this fiercely
protective nature that I had with him.
1192
01:23:54,220 --> 01:23:56,940
But then I watched the video
just by myself.
1193
01:23:57,060 --> 01:23:59,460
Where are you coming from
right now?
1194
01:23:59,540 --> 01:24:01,660
Headed back down
from Orange County.
1195
01:24:01,740 --> 01:24:03,100
You're headed down
from Orange County?
1196
01:24:03,180 --> 01:24:04,980
Yes.
1197
01:24:05,060 --> 01:24:07,340
You're in Jupiter, Florida
right now.
1198
01:24:08,580 --> 01:24:11,340
He had referred
to Orange County,
1199
01:24:11,420 --> 01:24:15,460
and that took my mind
back home to Southern California,
1200
01:24:15,580 --> 01:24:17,580
to our childhood.
1201
01:24:18,820 --> 01:24:23,580
To think about that jovial,
funny, quirky kid.
1202
01:24:26,660 --> 01:24:31,820
He had so much fun
and sweetness in him,
1203
01:24:33,140 --> 01:24:39,060
but he ended up on the street,
alone, and on his own.
1204
01:24:39,140 --> 01:24:42,140
Do you just wanna take a seat
real quick to tie your shoe?
1205
01:24:42,220 --> 01:24:44,140
It's alright.
1206
01:24:44,220 --> 01:24:48,460
And I just thought,
"I really hope he can reflect back
1207
01:24:48,540 --> 01:24:52,180
and remember the real him."
1208
01:24:59,420 --> 01:25:02,620
Are you looking forward
to the hearing, Mr. Woods?
1209
01:25:02,700 --> 01:25:04,940
Will it impact your golf career?
1210
01:25:10,740 --> 01:25:13,860
In 17CT 96 20,
1211
01:25:15,060 --> 01:25:18,940
the defendant will be pleading guilty
to charge of reckless driving.
1212
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:22,060
Mr. Woods, are you entering
this plea freely and voluntarily?
1213
01:25:22,220 --> 01:25:23,340
Yes.
1214
01:25:23,420 --> 01:25:25,660
The defendant must complete
the DUI school
1215
01:25:25,740 --> 01:25:27,820
and any
and all recommended treatment.
1216
01:25:29,580 --> 01:25:34,500
Everyone will face a reckoning.
I don't care who you are.
1217
01:25:34,580 --> 01:25:37,060
And Tiger's reckoning came hard.
1218
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:41,340
He was in the depths,
1219
01:25:41,460 --> 01:25:45,180
and I think he had to do
a lot of soul searching
1220
01:25:45,260 --> 01:25:48,260
and it started
by looking at his past.
1221
01:25:48,740 --> 01:25:51,660
Daddy! Daddy!
1222
01:25:55,420 --> 01:26:00,100
We can't dictate to him
what he can be and what he cannot be.
1223
01:26:00,180 --> 01:26:05,460
So as a consequence, what we do
is we participate with him in golf,
1224
01:26:05,580 --> 01:26:08,900
and if it was bowling, we would
participate with him in bowling.
1225
01:26:08,980 --> 01:26:11,780
Each and every one of us
has our own life to live,
1226
01:26:11,860 --> 01:26:17,300
and he has a choice to live his life
the way he wants to live his life.
1227
01:26:18,740 --> 01:26:21,020
Tiger was constructed,
there's no question about it.
1228
01:26:21,100 --> 01:26:23,380
And Earl drew up the specs.
1229
01:26:23,460 --> 01:26:29,260
A perfect golfing machine,
built from the outside in.
1230
01:26:30,140 --> 01:26:32,420
The outside was
the more important thing,
1231
01:26:32,500 --> 01:26:34,940
how you show your talent.
1232
01:26:36,220 --> 01:26:41,340
Crushing the ball,
crushing opponents, success.
1233
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:45,620
He would play mind games on me
almost every shot I hit
1234
01:26:45,700 --> 01:26:51,180
until I grew up and accepted it,
and then it was nothing.
1235
01:26:51,660 --> 01:26:55,820
In the meantime, maybe
something was left out inside.
1236
01:26:58,460 --> 01:27:04,260
For Tiger's whole life, the development
of the machine took precedence.
1237
01:27:06,300 --> 01:27:12,540
It wasn't until the recovery
that he entered after the arrest
1238
01:27:12,620 --> 01:27:18,940
that Tiger really had to go through
the human development,
1239
01:27:19,020 --> 01:27:25,900
sort of this growth period that for
most of us happens pretty early on.
1240
01:27:25,980 --> 01:27:29,780
Here he was
in his early 40s saying,
1241
01:27:29,860 --> 01:27:36,060
"Well the machine got me here.
I have to evolve into something else."
1242
01:27:38,780 --> 01:27:42,340
The first step
was to go into treatment.
1243
01:27:43,460 --> 01:27:49,420
He got clean, he got healthy,
1244
01:27:49,500 --> 01:27:53,180
and he crawls out of that hole.
1245
01:27:55,180 --> 01:28:00,860
If you look back on how deep into
the throes of drug addiction he was,
1246
01:28:00,980 --> 01:28:06,420
just to become a functional adult
is the comeback of all comebacks.
1247
01:28:12,420 --> 01:28:19,500
MEDALIST GOLF CLUB
HOBE SOUND, FL
1248
01:28:23,980 --> 01:28:27,620
Tiger had had
back fusion surgery
1249
01:28:27,700 --> 01:28:31,700
to just be able to resume
an ordinary life.
1250
01:28:31,780 --> 01:28:35,020
And as he started
to feel better physically,
1251
01:28:35,100 --> 01:28:38,380
he obviously started thinking
about golf.
1252
01:28:41,500 --> 01:28:43,460
Post-back fusion surgery,
1253
01:28:43,540 --> 01:28:47,380
I was able to bend over
and start rotating without pain.
1254
01:28:48,300 --> 01:28:51,380
And so I was given the okay
to start chipping.
1255
01:28:52,580 --> 01:28:55,180
All of a sudden,
the thought came back
1256
01:28:55,260 --> 01:28:59,060
that I might be able
to do this again.
1257
01:28:59,140 --> 01:29:02,940
Next you know, I started
to piece together a golf swing.
1258
01:29:05,580 --> 01:29:07,340
Woods posted this video
on Monday,
1259
01:29:07,420 --> 01:29:11,260
dropping his biggest hint yet that
he's ready to step back up to the tee.
1260
01:29:11,340 --> 01:29:16,060
Who would have thought ten months
ago that he would even swing again?
1261
01:29:16,140 --> 01:29:20,620
Just seeing him at this level,
man, how you not be excited?
1262
01:29:20,700 --> 01:29:25,980
All of a sudden, everybody was
wondering, "Will he play golf again?"
1263
01:29:29,420 --> 01:29:33,540
I ended up writing
an open letter to Tiger saying,
1264
01:29:33,660 --> 01:29:38,260
"I hope you can come back, but
not for the reasons you might think.
1265
01:29:38,380 --> 01:29:44,060
I don't want you to come back so that
you can pass Jack's major record.
1266
01:29:44,140 --> 01:29:49,220
I want you to come back
so that you can find the joy
1267
01:29:49,300 --> 01:29:52,980
that led you to the game
in the first place."
1268
01:29:55,620 --> 01:29:59,780
Today is perhaps the most highly
anticipated round of golf.
1269
01:29:59,860 --> 01:30:02,620
For the first time in 301 days,
1270
01:30:02,700 --> 01:30:06,860
Tiger Woods is playing competitively
for the world to witness.
1271
01:30:15,580 --> 01:30:17,980
He loves this one.
1272
01:30:19,740 --> 01:30:22,660
This week is a big step for me.
1273
01:30:22,740 --> 01:30:27,820
To come out here and to be able to do
what I've been doing with the guys,
1274
01:30:27,900 --> 01:30:31,580
that's so exciting.
You have no idea how exciting that is.
1275
01:30:31,660 --> 01:30:35,300
I hadn't been able to play fun golf
like that in such a long time.
1276
01:30:35,380 --> 01:30:39,020
And honestly,
I miss playing golf for fun.
1277
01:30:39,500 --> 01:30:42,340
Tiger Woods
playing alongside Kevin Na.
1278
01:30:42,420 --> 01:30:45,140
And he has this little short one
for birdie.
1279
01:30:48,860 --> 01:30:49,900
Pick it up.
1280
01:30:50,020 --> 01:30:53,780
You gotta let it get to the bottom
of the hole first, though, Kevin.
1281
01:30:53,860 --> 01:30:57,020
- Tiger got a kick out of that one.
- Oh, that's good.
1282
01:30:58,060 --> 01:31:01,620
Alright, Tiger
from just over two feet.
1283
01:31:05,820 --> 01:31:08,740
Would you have ever seen Tiger
do that a few years back?
1284
01:31:08,820 --> 01:31:11,060
I don't care
what situation he was in.
1285
01:31:13,020 --> 01:31:18,700
For all these years, he had been
so hyper-focused on the results,
1286
01:31:18,780 --> 01:31:21,140
he didn't want to fraternize
with the people
1287
01:31:21,220 --> 01:31:23,620
that he was gonna be trying
to beat.
1288
01:31:23,740 --> 01:31:26,300
But now
when I watch him play golf,
1289
01:31:26,380 --> 01:31:30,100
I see him enjoying the camaraderie
with his competitors.
1290
01:31:33,380 --> 01:31:37,420
I see him connecting with fans
in a way that he never did before.
1291
01:31:40,420 --> 01:31:46,180
I see a real genuine sense
of gratitude for the second chance.
1292
01:31:48,540 --> 01:31:52,620
Tiger, Tiger!
1293
01:31:55,340 --> 01:31:57,540
I'm very lucky.
1294
01:31:58,180 --> 01:32:04,820
I'm grateful to have been given
the opportunity to have a life.
1295
01:32:04,900 --> 01:32:07,700
And then on top of that,
1296
01:32:07,780 --> 01:32:10,300
blessed to even have
the opportunity to play golf.
1297
01:32:10,420 --> 01:32:13,100
Because I wasn't able to,
I was just laying down.
1298
01:32:13,180 --> 01:32:15,340
That's all I could do, is lay down.
1299
01:32:15,420 --> 01:32:16,980
A lot of times, I couldn't move.
1300
01:32:17,060 --> 01:32:21,700
I would be helped up out
off the floor, out of the bed,
1301
01:32:23,300 --> 01:32:25,140
and had to be carried
around the house.
1302
01:32:25,220 --> 01:32:27,540
These are tough times.
1303
01:32:27,660 --> 01:32:34,060
And to live months upon months
like that, it was not fun.
1304
01:32:34,140 --> 01:32:35,900
But now to be
on the good side of it,
1305
01:32:36,020 --> 01:32:40,260
the neat thing for me is to be able
to share it with my kids.
1306
01:32:40,340 --> 01:32:44,060
For so long, all my kids knew
was my soreness and pain.
1307
01:32:44,180 --> 01:32:46,020
They've never seen me
win golf tournaments.
1308
01:32:46,140 --> 01:32:48,100
They don't know what it's like.
1309
01:32:49,140 --> 01:32:53,740
I said, "Hey, I'm just getting started
here. Okay, guys? Dad's not done yet."
1310
01:32:56,780 --> 01:32:59,380
Round One of the Masters today
at Augusta National.
1311
01:32:59,460 --> 01:33:02,860
So many storylines to track,
including Tiger Woods.
1312
01:33:02,980 --> 01:33:05,460
He almost lost the ability
to play the game.
1313
01:33:05,580 --> 01:33:08,700
Wasn't sure two years ago if he was
going to play tournament golf again.
1314
01:33:08,780 --> 01:33:12,860
Now that he's back,
he understands his place in the game.
1315
01:33:12,940 --> 01:33:15,500
Tiger now is the voice of history
1316
01:33:15,580 --> 01:33:17,820
amongst the players
here at Augusta National
1317
01:33:17,900 --> 01:33:21,740
because it's 22 years
removed now from the '97.
1318
01:33:23,260 --> 01:33:25,140
It's exciting for me
to be a part of,
1319
01:33:25,220 --> 01:33:28,100
and hopefully I can be part of it
come Sunday afternoon.
1320
01:33:28,180 --> 01:33:32,420
Tiger, do you feel
like you need to win here again?
1321
01:33:33,420 --> 01:33:36,580
Well, I don't really need
to win again,
1322
01:33:39,220 --> 01:33:41,060
but I really want to.
1323
01:33:43,660 --> 01:33:46,300
When he walked out
to the first tee,
1324
01:33:46,380 --> 01:33:48,700
I think we all thought
there's no way.
1325
01:33:48,780 --> 01:33:50,940
There's no way
he can win another major,
1326
01:33:51,060 --> 01:33:53,020
because what we saw
five years ago,
1327
01:33:53,100 --> 01:33:54,980
there was no way
physically, technically,
1328
01:33:55,060 --> 01:33:57,620
there was no way
he could win another major.
1329
01:33:58,940 --> 01:34:00,900
No, no, no.
1330
01:34:00,980 --> 01:34:03,740
And that one is leaking left.
He knows it, too.
1331
01:34:04,620 --> 01:34:06,060
Oh, my God.
1332
01:34:06,180 --> 01:34:09,540
He will be hard pressed
to make his par from where he is.
1333
01:34:10,660 --> 01:34:13,140
See if he can manufacture a shot.
1334
01:34:14,900 --> 01:34:16,420
Downball.
1335
01:34:20,100 --> 01:34:21,580
He can.
1336
01:34:23,420 --> 01:34:29,060
There are signs, subtle signs
of the way Tiger used to play golf.
1337
01:34:30,340 --> 01:34:33,820
One thing I've learned
from twenty years of Tiger Woods
1338
01:34:33,900 --> 01:34:39,700
is do not underestimate Tiger Woods.
That is not the way to bet.
1339
01:34:39,820 --> 01:34:41,940
After playing Augusta
for so many years,
1340
01:34:42,060 --> 01:34:44,740
he figured out
how to play the golf course.
1341
01:34:46,900 --> 01:34:49,540
Trying to land it
in the middle of the green.
1342
01:34:50,620 --> 01:34:53,860
That's Masters experience
right there.
1343
01:34:54,740 --> 01:34:59,460
On every hole, he figured out,
this is the safest place to hit it.
1344
01:34:59,540 --> 01:35:01,540
It's a little bit conservative
for him,
1345
01:35:01,620 --> 01:35:05,700
he wasn't going out there
and stepping on people's necks,
1346
01:35:05,780 --> 01:35:08,820
but this was a different Tiger.
He's older Tiger.
1347
01:35:15,060 --> 01:35:18,100
- Anybody enjoying this?
- Yessir!
1348
01:35:19,020 --> 01:35:22,500
I kept telling myself,
"I've been in this position before.
1349
01:35:22,580 --> 01:35:24,260
You have a lot of holes to play.
1350
01:35:24,340 --> 01:35:28,300
Hang in there until the last couple
holes and we'll see where we are.
1351
01:35:28,420 --> 01:35:30,460
Just keep hanging in there."
1352
01:35:37,460 --> 01:35:39,940
Right now, everybody's talking
about that leaderboard.
1353
01:35:40,020 --> 01:35:44,740
There are some huge names.
And right behind sits Tiger Woods.
1354
01:35:46,540 --> 01:35:49,020
There's a whole generation
of Tour pros
1355
01:35:49,140 --> 01:35:52,100
that grew up idolizing Tiger,
1356
01:35:52,220 --> 01:35:54,700
but they never played him
at his peak,
1357
01:35:54,780 --> 01:35:59,060
never saw the shots that they
only can see on YouTube now.
1358
01:35:59,940 --> 01:36:01,580
And there were some pros
who said,
1359
01:36:01,700 --> 01:36:07,220
"I can't wait to get into the hunt
with Tiger on a Sunday in a major."
1360
01:36:07,940 --> 01:36:12,140
The fuck you do. You have
no idea what you're getting into.
1361
01:36:14,420 --> 01:36:16,820
Our leader, Francesco Molinari.
1362
01:36:28,580 --> 01:36:31,180
That was just so weak.
1363
01:36:31,260 --> 01:36:35,660
Tiger Woods on the prowl.
The guys just crumbled.
1364
01:36:35,740 --> 01:36:40,580
Now Koepka can make
this thing interesting.
1365
01:36:47,660 --> 01:36:51,460
Now Finau.
He really has an opportunity.
1366
01:36:55,500 --> 01:36:57,940
Can Woods take advantage?
1367
01:37:11,220 --> 01:37:16,380
Tiger Woods has the lead.
The impossible has become possible.
1368
01:37:16,540 --> 01:37:20,340
Suddenly, we were back
to watching Tiger.
1369
01:37:20,460 --> 01:37:24,780
Everybody's emotion
went to the roof.
1370
01:37:32,260 --> 01:37:35,140
Down towards the cut for Tiger.
1371
01:37:36,460 --> 01:37:39,020
This might be the shot
that seals it all.
1372
01:37:40,940 --> 01:37:44,940
Incredible play
at exactly the right time.
1373
01:37:50,820 --> 01:37:55,060
For Tiger Woods to come back
after an eleven-year drought
1374
01:37:55,180 --> 01:37:57,260
is just a Cinderella story.
1375
01:37:57,340 --> 01:37:58,740
I don't know if it means anything,
1376
01:37:58,900 --> 01:38:02,580
but the solar cycles of the sun
are every eleven years.
1377
01:38:02,700 --> 01:38:06,660
So maybe the sun of golf
has returned.
1378
01:38:08,300 --> 01:38:10,420
The patrons are twenty deep
1379
01:38:10,500 --> 01:38:15,340
and many thousands more
walking up 18 in readiness.
1380
01:38:18,060 --> 01:38:19,900
On the nose.
1381
01:38:27,540 --> 01:38:29,500
When he was coming up the fairway,
1382
01:38:29,620 --> 01:38:33,060
hoping to win
his fifteenth major championship,
1383
01:38:33,140 --> 01:38:35,780
I knew what to expect.
1384
01:38:35,860 --> 01:38:39,260
A lot of people would spin it
like he was a different man now,
1385
01:38:39,380 --> 01:38:41,900
he's the conquering hero.
1386
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:44,580
But these are the same people
1387
01:38:44,700 --> 01:38:49,860
that when he was riding high,
they were pulling for him to fall.
1388
01:38:49,940 --> 01:38:53,420
And when he fell,
they jumped on him with both feet.
1389
01:38:53,500 --> 01:38:56,580
And when he rose again,
all of a sudden,
1390
01:38:56,660 --> 01:39:01,460
he is a virtuous man now,
which to me is bullshit.
1391
01:39:02,540 --> 01:39:07,580
He's a human being
with frailties like everyone else.
1392
01:39:09,940 --> 01:39:15,380
The problem is we always try
to make him out to be more than he is.
1393
01:39:15,500 --> 01:39:18,860
And that goes
all the way back to Earl.
1394
01:39:20,020 --> 01:39:24,060
This is the minute that millions
around the world have waited for.
1395
01:39:26,740 --> 01:39:28,500
Waited for years.
1396
01:39:28,980 --> 01:39:33,540
Many doubted we'd ever see it.
But here it is.
1397
01:39:35,860 --> 01:39:38,580
The return to glory.
1398
01:40:08,540 --> 01:40:10,340
We made it!
1399
01:40:12,580 --> 01:40:14,620
Please forgive me,
1400
01:40:14,700 --> 01:40:19,420
but sometimes I get very emotional
when I talk about my son.
1401
01:40:25,780 --> 01:40:30,620
My heart fills with so much joy
1402
01:40:30,700 --> 01:40:35,940
when I realize
that he will transcend this game.
1403
01:40:39,140 --> 01:40:42,060
This is my treasure.
1404
01:40:43,140 --> 01:40:46,340
Please use it wisely.
1405
01:42:29,300 --> 01:42:32,940
This has been a presentation
of HBO SPORTS.
