“I enjoyed doing it” – When Curtis Strange admitted to not regretting comments from the infamous ’96 Tiger Woods interview

In one of Tiger Woods’ early interviews, professional golfer Curtis Strange called out the golfer’s confident attitude, describing him as a bit brash. Several years later, Strange admitted he had no regrets about his comments.

In 1996, Woods, who had just turned pro, gave an interview to Strange. For a rookie, Woods displayed remarkable confidence, stating that he aimed to win every tournament and believed finishing second “sucked” while third was “even worse.”

Strange, a veteran golfer at the time, was taken aback by the bold response and remarked that the young Woods would eventually learn.

Several years later, when the video resurfaced and Woods had cemented his status as one of the greatest in the game, Strange expressed that he would love to do another interview with him.

“I enjoyed doing it. I’d always wanted to do another one with him, after the fact, after his great play,” he said as per Golfweek. “Then this (resurfacing of that interview) came up, and I really wanted to do one after that.”

The two-time US Open champion added he had no regret of his comments.

“As far as the (‘You’ll learn’) comment that went semi-viral, I think the world was thinking the same thing I said, for Christ’s sake,” he said. “In the world of golf, sometimes second doesn’t suck.”

However, the 2002 Ryder Cup captain did admit that he underestimated Woods.

“I told Tiger years later, “I learned. Maybe I was wrong and you were right. Or maybe we were both right,”.

Tiger Woods set to host a press conference ahead of the Hero World Challenge

Tiger Woods will hold a press conference on Tuesday, December 3, at Albany ahead of the Hero World Challenge 2024. This will be his first press conference since undergoing back surgery in September.

On Sunday, December 1, TW Legion shared the update about Tiger’s press conference.

Unlike last year, the 48-year-old golfer will not compete at the Hero World Challenge. He was last seen competing at the Open Championship, where he missed the cut.

This year, Tiger Woods played five events, including four major championships. He withdrew from the Genesis Invitational during the week but made the cut at the Masters Tournament. However, he failed to make it to the weekend in the rest of the events.

Woods’ last win was the Zozo Championship, his 82nd win on the PGA Tour. He is still in the hunt for one more win to surpass Sam Snead as the winningest player on the Tour.
