Tiger talks sports: Woods on the time Muhammad Ali hit him, how he compares to Michael Jordan
On his second-favorite sport growing up, and how it helped his golf game: "Baseball. I loved playing baseball. My dad was a catcher, so naturally I was a pitcher...Baseball gave me the footwork and the leg strength to play golf. That's why my legs moved as much as they did, it's from playing baseball."
On a rather painful interaction with Muhammad Ali: "It was a practice round at Shinnecock, the year (Retief Goosen) won out there...I'm in line at the front desk, and I get hit in the ribs. My right ribs. And it hurt. And I whip around and think I'm gonna just keel all and hit somebody. I was so pissed. I look around, and it's Muhammad Ali. And he says, 'Hey, kid.' And I'm like, why did you have to give me a love tap so hard? He was old, but it still hurt.
On playing golf with Michael Jordan the day of a 1997 playoff game: "They were playing the Knicksin the ECF. I went up there and hung out with him for a few days. It was neat to be a part of...The mindset—I can relate to that. I can relate to the intensity."
On the time he went incognito at a Raiders game:"I had to go with face paint. I had silver and black, and a Raider hoodie on. it was a little chilly that day, and no one recognized me, and I was just a fan like every one of them. We were screaming and yelling, having a great time."
On non-golfer athletes who might have a chance to play on Tour:"A PGA Tour player? I would say no one. But as a senior Tour player, I thought John Smoltz could do it, and I think he still can...The only other player that I think could really do it, and he just turned 40, is (Tony) Romo. I know it's 10 years away, but he has the speed, he has the game."
On whether he's ever known an athlete as competitive as him:"I would say 1A, 1B, myself and Michael. He's more, I think, outwardly competitive than I am. But I have my tendencies to be a little competitive at times."
