Tiger Woods was officially inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday and delivered quite the introduction speech.
Instead of focusing on his many accomplishments on the golf course, he reflected on his upbringing and the people that have helped him along the way. Nobody had a bigger impact on Tiger’s life than his own parents, specifically his father.
During his speech, Woods made it a point to thanks his mom, who was in attendance, and his late father for all the sacrifices they made during his childhood. He revealed that when he was 14-years-old his parents took out a second mortgage to cover his travel expenses.
Woods got emotional when looking at his mother in the front row while discussing their many sacrifices.
“Without the sacrifices of mom, who took me to all those junior golf tournaments” Woods explained, “and dad, who’s not here, but who instilled in me this work ethic to fight for what I believe in, to chase after my dreams – that nothing’s ever going to be given to you, everything’s going to be earned.”
Those sacrifices obviously worked out pretty well for Woods and his family, and later on in his speech, he explained that he paid off that mortgage right after signing his contracts with Nike and Titleist.
Woods has earned just shy of $121 million on the PGA Tour to go along with 82 wins on Tour and 15 major championships.
The 45-year-old has a net worth of $800 million.
