In one of the most candid and revealing interviews of his fascinating career, Tiger Woods opened up to Canadian golf journalist Lorne Rubenstein for TIME Magazine.
In the interview with Rubenstein, entitled 'Tiger's Private Struggles', with a bag of ice on his back, Woods talked about his desire to keep playing, his relationship with his ex-wife, why he and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn broke up, the highs and lows of his career on the course and his feelings about watching golf on TV (“I can’t stand it”).
Woods addresses the very real possiblility that his career may indeed be over, but stresses he desperately hopes that is not the case.
Here is an excerpt from Rubenstein's introduction to the article:
"Tiger Woods was raised to be a champion. Groomed by a father who put a golf club in his hands before he could walk, Woods has been one of the most dominant athletes of all time since turning pro at 20 in the summer of 1996. His 14 major tournament championships are second only to Jack Nicklaus’ total of 18, a record he once seemed destined to surpass. But Woods hasn’t won another major since 2008, before his infidelities led to a high profile divorce from Elin Nordegren in 2010 Now, Woods is facing the very real possibility that his record-setting career will be over by the time he turns 40 on Dec. 30. Ahead of that milestone, Woods sat down for a rare one-on-one interview with TIME at his restaurant in Jupiter, Fla."
