For most of his career, Tiger Woods has been one of the most guarded athletes in sports.
Short answers. Very little emotion. Almost complete control over what the public gets to see.
But golf personality Tisha Alyn recently shared a story showing a completely different side of Tiger.
Alyn recalled interviewing Woods at Tiger Jam in 2023, where she expected the usual reserved Tiger. Instead, Woods was smiling, joking and even asking her if she wanted to take pictures and make a TikTok together.
Seriously.
Tiger Woods wanted to make a TikTok.
According to Alyn, Woods joked that he didn’t really understand TikTok but knew about it because his son loved it. The entire interaction stunned her because it was so different from the Tiger everyone normally sees publicly.
But Alyn also noticed something interesting.
Those moments don’t last long.
She described Tiger as someone who occasionally allows his guard to come down before quickly putting it right back up. His team has also helped control access around him throughout his career.
And honestly, that makes the story even more interesting.
We’ve watched Tiger Woods for decades.
We’ve seen the fist pumps, major championships, injuries and controversies.
But apparently there’s still a version of Tiger that very few people actually get to see.
