on Wednesday night as much for what he’s done for the game as for what he’s done on the golf course, which is win a record 82 career tournaments, including 15 major championships.
Yes, Woods was the most dominant player the game has ever seen, but that dominance, coupled with his skin color adding diversity to an all-too-white sport inspired the likes of Jon Rahm, who’s currently No. 1 in the world, Collin Morikawa , Rory McIlroy Dustin Johnson , Xander Schauffele and so many more to chase his tracks.That’s why Woods, at age 46, was inducted Wednesday night, presented by his 14-year-old daughter, Sam, in a jarring juxtaposition of the time, place and moment in his life.
In February 2010, some three months after his famous car crash into the Isleworth fire hydrant that exposed his marital infidelity, Woods stood in front of those awful blue curtains and told the world in a wildly awkward 14-minute statement: “I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you. For all that I have done, I am so sorry.”
“Besides entertaining all of us for 20 years and doing unbelievable things, he inspired the generation of players you’re seeing today,’’ Rahm said.“You have at the top of the world [currently] a lot of 20-some-year-olds and early 30-year-olds that grew up watching him and trying to copy him, and I think that’s why the level of the game is as high as it is right now.Morikawa said, “He’s everything. I grew up watching him. I wanted to compete against him. You wanted to be No. 1 in the world.
