Cold-blooded Tiger Woods broke down in tears after winning The Open without his dad
His father, Earl Woods, famously taught him to be that way from the moment he could walk.
But it came two months too late for Earl to witness it.
Despite his father’s death in May, Tiger was able to create emotional silence for 72 holes and plot his way around Hoylake masterfully.
The golfing sensation famously used his driver just once in the entire championship, delivering one of the greatest displays of tactical brilliance and ball striking to beat Chris DiMarco by two strokes.
The world had never seen Tiger cry before 2006 – and that was down to Earl.
From a young age, Tiger was taught to block out unhelpful feelings to the point where he didn’t feel them anymore.
“He would stop and look at me with his teeth gritting. He’d start again and I’d throw a dozen golf balls in front of his ball.
