Tiger Woods and Yankees Legend Derek Jeter Have Nothing But Mutual Respect for Each Other

Golf legend Tiger Woods has numerous well-deserved records under his name. The golfer has tons of fans and is one of the most loved golf stars in the world. Not only the people who watch the sport, but other golfers also have immense love and respect for the player.

Three famous personalities, who are also fans of the athlete, had joined him for a practice session for the Hero World Challenge. Justin Rose, Tino Martinez, and Derek Jeter showed up in the Bahamas on a Monday in 2016 and played a few shots with the 15-time major winner. Woods appeared to be giddily playing next to Jeter.

In a conversation with USA Today, Woods said, “He asked me a bunch of technical questions about the game, and I could hear him pick the brain over there with Rosie,” The same went on with Jeter when he said, “This is a blast. You’re playing with Tiger Woods. Doesn’t get any better than that.”

Jeter is a friend of Woods since the late 1990s, but it was surprisingly the first time the two played together. It was so because Jeter was trying to improve his handicap, and Woods was getting ready for his big comeback to professional golf via the Hero World Challenge.

And he asks the right questions.” The four talked about golf and a lot more during the session.
