Tiger Woods is one of the most popular sports stars. Having won his first major tournaments at the beginning of his career, Woods was a child prodigy.
He began golfing when he was two, after his father, Earl Woods, introduced him to the game.
By the time he was 11, Woods had won 113 trophies. Recently, the American golf legend took part in a Q&A
with the younger golfers at the Tiger Woods Foundation Junior Invitational.
The 15-time major champion revealed that his mother made him donate all his trophies to charity due to his immense success at a young age.
“By the time I had turned 12 when I was 11, my mom made me donate all my trophies because I had won 113.”
He went on to say:
“When I was 11 years old, my life peaked. I got straight A’s. I got outstanding for effort and participation. I never got posted or in trouble during recess. I won 36 tournaments that summer. I went 36-0. And I think I had the cutest girlfriend at the time. So yes, life peaked at 11.”
The 46-year-old golfer has reached the pinnacle of his success in his career. He has topped the Official World Golf Rankings for the longest time in history. So far, the five-time Major champion has won 82 PGA Tour events. However, his legacy is drowning, as Woods has been struggling to play his best shots due to his injury.
