“I WAS WRONG” Strange Reflects on Comments…(Curtis Strange YOU’LL LEARN Second Interview)

today we dive into a story of ambition, awkward backstories, regret and an encounter that shook the golf world, uh, a little cheeky, how does Curtis Strange reflect on his infamous

interview

with Woods on the eve of the first young professionals tournament you'll

learn

? Let's go back to 1996, a young Tiger Woods enters the professional scene, he's not just another player, he's a three-time US Amateur champion with a bold statement: I want to win, that's my nature, winning is the only option, the

second

place, Woods fired directly and the

second

. stinks and third place is even worse having earned his stripes in the amateur ranks, one would hope the golf world and legends of the past would rally behind this young golfer showing support and offering advice; however, enter Curtis Strange as a single-season champion and two-time US Open winner.

In an

interview

with Fox TV Strange Faces Woods boldly claims to want to win and believe he can with skepticism, you will

learn

that this was not a casual comment, it was a challenge, a clash of times and cultures, yes, he could have been joking and maybe he was meant to be light-hearted, but perhaps there was more to this than meets the eye. A

from the diffuse Zella. He's doing whatever it takes to win, so you know what you're doing when he gets here. B he on the back says congratulations. Let him enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. For many, rewatching this video in the modern age brings up uncomfortable feelings about the story that highlights the difficulties of black golfers succeeding in professional golf.

I always feel it, you can always feel it, um people. They are always watching you. What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here, but regardless of this context, Woods was on a mission to turn the tables after this interview with Strange. His career skyrocketed, racking up 83 PJ Tour wins and 15 majestics. His success was not just a response to his critics, it was a deafening roar and rapid, to this day, Strange looks back at his words, maybe I was

wrong

and maybe you were right, he admits. he. Is this a hint of regret on Strange's Kurt part, but his admission came nearly three times?

Decades later, he raises questions: why did it take so long for Strange to recognize his mistake? Was his initial stance just personal oversight or indicative of golf's resistance to change? Are we seeing this in the current battle with Liv Golf and the PJ Tour? Today's golfers make

they might regret later. I do it like I hope it goes away and I hope it happens. What do you think you'll do? Let me know in the comments below and I'll see you in the next one.
