The once unstoppable force in the sport, who was famed for his inability to work with any other players in the Ryder Cup, is now the man that the new generation turns to for advice. He’s been a fount of knowledge for the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and all of the game’s greats over the past decade.
And since he’s taken the role of captain of his TGL team, Jupiter Golf Links, his teammates have had direct access to his thoughts and opinions on the game. One of those teammates is Max Homa, but he recently revealed that the best advice he ever received from Woods came when he least expected it.

Speaking on the Rich Eisen before his TGL final with Jupiter Golf Links, he revealed the piece of advice which the 15-time major winner gave him that he still uses to this day . The six-time PGA Tour winner said, “He’s been great, but it’s interesting, at the beginning of our relationship, I used to pick his brain a lot more. And as it’s gone on, I just enjoy talking to him like a normal person, just as a friend.
“I think when you’re first getting into it, you’re nervous, and you just want to get everything out of his brain that you can, and then over time you realise there are some things that he’s just got magic with. You can’t really teach it, you can’t learn it. “It’s cooler at times just talking about the Dodgers and football or family life and all that.
