Tiger Woods: "If you don't go out there and put in the work, you don't go out and put in the effort, one, you're not going to get the results, but two, and more importantly, you don't deserve it. You need to earn it"
Tiger Woods took his place among the best of all time on Wednesday night as he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
The 46-year-old Woods entered the storied hall as part of the Class of 2022 along with retired PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, U.S. Women's Open champion Susie Maxwell Berning and Marion Hollins, a U.S. Women's Amateur champion and golf course architect who was recognised posthumously.
Woods' 14-year-old daughter Sam proudly presented her father, saying she had inducted him "into the Dad Hall of Fame a long time ago", while she also referenced Tiger's car crash last year in her closing comments.
"We didn't know if you'd come home with two legs or not," Sam said. "This is why you deserve this, because you're a fighter.
"You've defied the odds every time, being the first Black and Asian golfer to win a major, being able to win your fifth Masters after multiple back surgeries, and being able to walk just a few months after your crash."
Tiger subsequently said, "I just lost a bet to [Steve] Stricker that I wouldn't cry.
"All the inductees, all the people, all the past Hall of Famers who are here, players, the World Golf Hall of Fame committee, thank you for inducting me and passing me in here. Jay [Monahan, PGA Tour commissioner], thank you for moving the age down from 50 to 45."
