On Tuesday, Tiger Woods spoke with SiriusXM’s Brian Katrek and Taylor Zarzour where the 15-time major champion discussed his 2019 Masters victory, how his Presidents Cup captaincy is keeping him up all night, and his playing schedule moving forward.
Speaking on his remarkable win at Augusta National back in April, Woods admitted to his hosts that the victory has finally sunk in, and how his game clicked that week.

Woods explained how his mind worked heading to the back nine, and how he felt he needed to be aggressive down the final stretch to see off the half a dozen players in contention.
“Then all of a sudden I found myself in contention, and it was weird playing in threesomes on Sunday, going out early, then all of a sudden sparks started flying on 12, and coming in so many guys had a chance. Five or six guys at one point had a share or outright share of the lead on the back nine, so it was a ‘who’s who’ of who’s going to win this thing, and I figured I needed to make four or five birdies on the back nine to have a chance and I was able to do that.”
The 43-year-old also admitted that he soaked the win in more than any other in his career due to his struggles over the few years preceding the victory.
As the subject moved to Presidents Cup duties next week, Woods talked about the communication process in preparation for the event, and how the worldwide destination of both his vice-captains and players has led to little opportunity to sleep.
Despite the lack of sleep, Katrek and Zarzour mentioned the fresh appearance of their guest in contrast to last year, and commenting on his plans for his schedule next year, Woods said it’s going to be a similar limited schedule like we saw in 2019.
“Well, I played too much last year. That was a mistake, and this past year I backed off my schedule, played a little bit less, and I think that’s probably going to be my schedule going forward. I can’t play as much as I used to. There’s no way. And understanding that – and then probably more than anything this year was trying to understand how to prep for the major events that we had each and every month.
With the condensed schedule, tournaments I like to play that I traditionally have played, times I’m usually taking breaks, can’t really take those breaks anymore. So trying to figure all that out and then I had a knee issue, an oblique issue this year, so that has been one of those deals.”
