Is Tiger Woods a Hall of Famer?

Tiger Woods was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday night.

Woods spoke for approximately 15 minutes at the ceremony, making it his longest speech in public uninterrupted.

It was an opportunity to reflect on his career and his fondest memories from the days before he was famous.

All of the anecdotes he shared were confined to the first half of his life, none of them occurring after 1999.

The fruit of all those long hours – the record-tying 82 PGA TOUR wins and 15 major championships – earned him his spot in the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Woods’ spot in the World Golf Hall of Fame has been guaranteed for two decades.

Woods is now a parent, a survivor and a man who’s experienced the full spectrum of life’s experiences, and this made his induction more meaningful.

“We didn’t know if you’d come home with two legs or not,” his daughter, Sam had said.

“Now, not only are you about to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but you’re standing on your own two feet. This is why you deserve this, because you’re a fighter”, she added.
