My Take
Tiger Woods changed what I thought an athlete's prime could look like—twice. The first version, the Stanford prodigy who lapped entire fields at majors, redefined golf's athleticism and global reach. But the second version moves me more: a body wrecked by surgeries and a reputation battered by setbacks, yet he clawed his way back into contention and winning. Few champions get to be both the untouchable genius and the underdog within one lifetime. His real legacy, in my view, is not the trophy count but the way he made golf feel urgent and dramatic for people who had never picked up a club.
