Influenced by his father's Special Forces background, Woods participated in grueling Navy SEAL exercises, such as running in combat boots, which severely degraded his knees.

Woods practiced holding his breath underwater for minutes at a time to learn how to lower his heart rate, helping him steady his nerves during crucial, high-pressure putts.

During a 2015 event in Italy, a media member rushing toward the podium to film his then-girlfriend Lindsey Vonn accidentally struck Woods with a shoulder-mounted camera.

Running for his Anaheim high school allowed Woods to build superior cardiovascular stamina, ensuring he never suffered from mental or physical fatigue during long tournaments.
