but what did it mean to the sport, that tiger was back on top in 2019? >> tiger's tiger.been anyone like him. you know, i go back to the first event that i worked for nbc sports. it was the 2000 u.s. open at pebble beach. tiger won that championship by 15 strokes. he was the only player under par. everything he has done or not everything he has done, but so many of the things that he has done over time have been just awe-inspiring, and you know, people, they tend to -- to gawk, and i understand it. as somebody who plays the game myself, as somebody who's covered sports for 30-something years, you know, you look at excellence and you admire it. he's haley's comet. he comes once in a generation. we may never see somebody who plays this game like tiger woods again, regardless of how much he has won. you know, a lot will be made over the number of tournaments that he won, you know, the margins as i just mentioned, but the statistics that -- excuse me, the statistic that i go back to and the one that i think is the most impressive, tiger woods went, i think, a stretch of seven

if you're a golfer, tiger woods is a guy that i want to be like tiger. one of those guys that you loved no matter what sport you follow or place. twitter is lighting up with thoughts about tiger woods. for the comments people talking ant him speeding, if you have ever been in california, those folks don't move slow at all. we don't know how to go slow. tiger probably saw open space. i'm a marine. you don't show up light. you show up on time. >> neil: so much we don't flow. i was wondering, i remember when you talked to professional athletes. i don't know if tiger was among them. those that would play a role for social just tis. people forget that in the case of tiger woods, he wasn't loud about it. he was very quiet about it. it was important to him. can you explain that part of it? >> absolutely. tiger was -- how do i put this in a way that -- it's the way -- if you remember when tiger started, we watched him. he broke it down perfect when you talked about how he was one of the first to come to augusta. bret baier talked about it. changing the way we lo

you think of tiger woods.t kind of just impact has he had not just, ron, on the sport of golf but just on america? >> well, he took golf from the back of the sports section to the front of the sports section and also the front page of the newspapers. he became the lead stories on the national news. you know, as a -- as a black man, a multi-ethnic man, achieving success and becoming the greatest player perhaps ever in what was an overwhelmingly white sport shattered barriers in so many ways. you could not have made up tiger woods. i mean, even right down to the name. he's tall. he was good looking. he's athletic. he's dynamic in his personality, and this is the most important part. he was better than advertised. he not only lived up to the hype. he exceeded the hype, and that's very, very rare in the overly hyped world that we live in now. he changed the game of golf. he became that up-word superstar the way pele was in soccer or ali was in boxing. >> and to your point about being a man of color inspiring so ma

the masters and tiger and tiger and the masters. now your talking about the man recovering for life as opposed to getting a chance to play in a golf tournament in a month and a half. >> he was interviewed sunday. let me play this little clip. listen to this. >> so, tiger, seven weeks from today, final round of the masters. are you going to be there? >> god, i hope so. i have to get there first. >> do you feel like you'll -- >> a lot of depends on my surgeons, doctors and therapists, making sure i do it correctly. this is the only back i've got. i don't have much more wiggle room left here. >> you know, christine, he was obviously very hopeful that this was the beginning of another comeback. >> it was, wolf. listen to those words, what he said. this is the only back i've got. this is a 45-year-old tiger woods, who is looking ahead to the rest of his life and, yes, he wants to play golf. no one wants to play and win in tournaments more than tiger woods even now, even guys who are half his age champing at the bit to try to beat him. th

we track tiger.been to the tournaments where the crowds are ten deep following tiger where he's ten down from the leader, it shows you the impact that he has. >> even in the most recent days, he did some interviews where he said he hoped to play in the masters april 8-11, i believe. we've been talking about the injuries that have plagued him. his various issues including his recent back surgeries in december. he was continuing to play the sport despite the physical setbacks. >> you know, this is a guy who has suffered a lot of injuries in his career, his back, his knee, his leg. there's been a history there. i think the same determination that made him what he is since age 3 has pulled him through the injuries. i see tiger like a lot of elite athletes that are these iconic figures. they're going to keep going. the same drive that has pushed them through getting to where they are will push them through injuries. injuries are part of sports. again, this is the cliche as you get older. there will be mor

tiger is different. tiger, you bring in a racial angle.s history and this country is so i guess divided by race. tiger united races. he brought everybody together and he was able to navigate the racial issue. it was such savvy. professionalism. maturity that everybody likes tiger no matter who you are and you is sit on the couch and watch him win and enjoy those moments together that brings us together as americans. i think that explains the interest a little bit. >> that's true. like obviously i'm not -- i'm a very well knowledgeable sports fan. of course as everybody knows, i don't watch a ton of out. i love the story of tiger woods. i loved it when he was at the tournament with his son recently. dagen mcdowell, a final thought from you. >> i went to wake forest which is where arnold palmer went, lanny watkins. worked on a golf course after i graduated from college. tiger woods was somebody that made people want to play golf and watch golf who probably never even thought about it before. he made people care about golf because his play wa

it's just a huge difference between pre-tiger and post-tiger in terms of his impact on the pga tour. >> absolutely. >> gentlemen, we're going to take a short break on the air right now, but we can continue this conversation on >>> and we are back. larry, you know, i'm just looking at some of the tweets from athletes. "magic" johnson, lebron james, everybody this morning when they heard the news, it was a sick to my stomach feeling for a lot of people, i guess because so much has gone wrong in this past year. we lost kobe bryant and people are wondering, oh, my goodness. the good news is it sounds like he is stable now and it's leg fractures. >> yeah, i think everybody can just exhale and take a deep breath and say, okay, at least -- you know, leg injuries, you can come back from leg injuries. will he feel great walking 1 holes? i don't know. how long is that going to take? unclear. he's alive, hopefully soon will be well, and we'll see tiger woods on a golf course again sometime in the future. >> certainly. thank you, larry, so much, and thank you to chronicle columnist ron kroichek.

that was tiger's 14th. then he goes, as you say, a decade, when he was once rattling them off, multiple majors in the space of a year. now he goes a decade before winning his 15th. what was once a foregone conclusion, now he's almost certainly stalled at 15. and nicklaus is safe. >> mediate said he almost made a deal with the devil, but tiger had already done that. and the video from dwyane wade, golfing with -- the smile that rad radiated, to hear dwyane wade say that he took up golf like so many african-americans because of tiger woods. that's pretty remarkable. >> he broke the course record, as i remember, with the tournament record in 1997. augusta national had only admitted its first african-american member several years earlier, 1990. and now it's 1997. think of the symbolism of him walking up the 18th fairway. for all the majesty of augusta, all the history, and it's set apart from every other course and tournament. but it embodies in many ways, especially then, the antebellum south. all the caddies

woods once he got to the scene and that he asked tiger woods his name and he said "tiger," and he of course immediately knew who he was. what was so impressive, sanjay, they got the 911 call from a neighbor at 7:12. the sheriff arrived at 7:18. then the fire department got the call at 7:22, by 7:28 the paramedics were on the scene. they were moving very, very quickly. as you correctly point out and as the sheriff and the fire chief pointed out, this is pretty dangerous strip of road, there have been a lot of accidents there. 45 mile or so an hour speed limit but people are driving 80 miles an hour and as a result they crash and potentially can kill themselves. >> yeah, no doubt, wolf. but to your point, you think about that speed of actually being able to arrive on the scene, assess the situation, extricate him, have him basically prepared to be able to be transported to the hospital. that happened very quickly. i was doing the math on that as well, 7:12 the call came in, 7:22 they already had the situation assessed, and it sounds like six minutes later they started the process of ex

it tiger's tiger and everybody wanted to be there. it was a big event, and he considered it one of the great honors of his life. and he has won all of these majors and the tournaments, i guess he is second in tournaments and in the majors he has 15, that's a lot of majors. and it was an exciting day. it was a beautiful day, it was so good in so many ways and he made a lot of progress from that day and then this has to happen. he is a very respected person. he is respected by the other players, they idolize him. and he will be back. i have no doubt about it. he will be back. >> katie: he definitely has made comebacks before. and you hear a few people talking about them today and you see the mentorship to his kids and working with a number of people who want to learn how to golf of course mr. president and tiger woods are much better than me. i'm the person telling the people behind me to please go ahead. i'd pick the latest tee time as possible so there are people not waiting behind me. i would love to take a golf lesson from tiger woo
