Tiger Woods has etched a unique legacy in the golf world. He is one of the most successful golfers in the world, with 15 Major titles. The American golfer was a former child prodigy and has been playing the game since the age of two.

In an interview with Reuters in December 2007, Woods opened up about his competitive side of the game. Speaking of his love for golf, Woods said (via Times of Malta),

"Golf is something I do selfishly for myself. I have a competitive side and that's how I express it. But, as far as my tombstone is concerned, hopefully it will read something more of what I am trying to do for kids. That would be so much more ultimate than winning any golf tournament.
