After a tumultuous year that included a sex scandal, divorce and a shortened, winless season on the PGA Tour, Tiger Woods said Tuesday that he’s continuing to improve his game and his life.
“As a golfer I learned so much more this year than any other year, and as a person infinitely more,” Woods said after practicing for the Chevron World Challenge, an 18-player tournament at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks that benefits Woods’ charities.
“So it’s been a very successful year even though it was a very painful year as well,” said Woods, 34, a winner of 14 major championships who’s made major changes to his golf swing to help him win again.
Woods has won the Chevron World Challenge four times but has missed the tournament the last two years. He was recovering from knee surgery in 2008, and last year he withdrew because the event came only days after his Thanksgiving night car accident in Florida that set in motion his sensational sex scandal. Woods also lost golf’s No. 1 ranking — a position he held for more than five consecutive years — last month when Lee Westwood of England took the top spot.
