>>> AND WE'RE BACK IN THE PRESENCE OF A TRUE LEGEND, GOLF SUPERSTAR TIGER WOODS. THE NUMBERS CERTAINLY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. 683 RANKED WORLD NUMBER ONE. 82 PGA TOUR VICTORIES SO FAR. 15 MAJORS SO FAR, INCLUDING 5 GREEN JACKETS. AND PERHAPS THOSE JACKETS GOT HIM THINKING BECAUSE TIGER'S NEWEST TITLE PERFORMANCE AND APPAREL COMPANY, HE'S THE OWNER OF IT, SUNDAY RED TIGER. GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN. WE HAVE SO MUCH HISTORY. >> YEAH, WE DO. >> WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING GOLF TOGETHER. GREW UP 30 YEARS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. BOTH OF OUR FATHERS MEANT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT TO OUR LIVES IN OUR GOLF DEVELOPMENT. WHEN WE GREW UP, GOLF WASN'T COOL YET. >> NO, NO. IF YOU PLAYED GOLF, YOU WERE DEFINITELY NOT A COOL KID. >> GIRLS WOULD BE LIKE, WHAT'S THAT? >> I GET IT. >> WHAT ARE YOUR EARLIEST MEMORIES OF JUST YOUR CHILDHOOD IN SO CAL PLAYING GOLF? >> I GREW UP ON PUBLIC COURSES. ANY TIME WE GOT AN SCGA TOURNAMENT ON A COUNTRY CLUB, IT WAS LIKE, OH, MY GOD. I GET TO GO TO A COUNTRY CLUB AND PLAY GOLF. SO MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOLF IS PUBLIC GOLF AND THEN EVENTUALLY GOT INTO SOME OF THE -- I COULDN'T BELIEVE THEY CUT THE GREENS ALMOST EVERY DAY AT A COUNTRY CLUB. I'M USED TO COMING ON MONDAY ONLY AND WATCHING IT JUST KIND OF GROW THROUGH THAT ENTIRE WEEK. BUT, NO, IT WAS -- IT WAS GOOD. THE FACT THAT WE HAD SO MANY JUNIOR GOLF TOURNAMENTS, AS YOU KNOW, DURING THE SUMMER THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PLAY COMPETITIVE GOLF. >> MOST OF THE COOL KIDS WERE SURFING AND DOING THE CALIFORNIA STUFF. SOME GREAT MEMORIES PLAYING WITH YOU. SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER, NELLY KOR DA, WE'RE SEEING SOME REAL SPECIAL. 9 OUT OF THE LAST 10 EVENTS THEY HAVE WON. WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU SEE SCOTTIE PLAYING IN PARTICULAR? >> FOR SCOTTIE, HIS ICONIC FOOT MOVEMENT IS -- IS -- BELIES WHAT THE CLUB IS ACTUALLY DOING THROUGH THE GOLF BALL, HOW GOOD IT IS, HOW STABLE IT IS, HOW SOLID HE HITS IT. STAND BACK AND HIT THE BALL FLIGHT. THERE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT HIS. IT IS SO CONSISTENT. IT WORKS IN BOTH WAYS. BOTH WAYS. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF IF HE PUTTS, YOU KNOW, DECENT, YOU KNOW, HE'S GOING TO WIN. IF HE PUTTS GREAT, HE BLOWS AWAY FIELDS. IF HE HAS A PUTTING WEEK, HE CONTENDS. HE IS JUST THAT GOOD A BALL STRIKER. >> I SEE SOME OF THE YOUNG GUYS, EVEN WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING WITH YOU COMPETITIVELY, THEY SEEM TO WANT TO GET IN YOUR EAR. OTHER THAN TECHNIQUE AND SWING, WHAT WOULD SURPRISE US ABOUT WHAT SOME OF THE GUYS ASK YOU? >> SOME OF THE STUFF IS, CAN I BE SAID. OTHER THINGS ARE GOLF RELATED AND BEING, HOW DID I DO IT. HOW DID I DO IT FOR SO LONG OR EVEN WHY DID I DO IT, WHY DID I MAKE CHANGES TO MY GAME. SOME OF THEM ARE JUST TRYING TO GET BETTER, JUST LIKE I WAS. >> SAW YOU AND CHARLIE, YOUR SON, FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, HE'S FANTASTIC. HE'S TRYING TO QUALIFY FOR A FEW EVENTS. TELL ME ABOUT THAT RELATIONSHIP ON THE COURSE. I HAVE A TEENAGER THAT DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING OUT OF MY MOUTH ABOUT HIS GOLF SWING. >> OKAY. >> DO YOU COACH? ARE YOU DAD? >> HE WILL LISTEN TO YOU ABOUT BROADCASTING, RIGHT? >> YEAH. >> THAT'S THE SAME THING. HE LISTENS TO ME ABOUT GOLF. BUT ANYTHING ELSE OUTSIDE OF THAT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ELSE, EVEN THEN THERE IS A LITTLE PUSHBACK IN GOLF. WHICH IS TOTALLY COOL. HE'S 15 YEARS OLD. IT IS WHAT HAPPENS, WHAT TEENAGERS GO THROUGH. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND THEIR OWN PLACE IN THE WORLD. I GET IT. >> CHARLIE ON THE RANGE WITH YOU. HE HAD A CLUB. HE WAS HOLDING IN FRONT OF YOU LIKE THIS. IT LOOKED LIKE THE TWO OF YOU ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON A SWING. >> WE ARE. IT IS JUST LIKE BEING AT HOME. WHEN WE'RE PRACTICING AT HOME, I'M TRYING TO KEEP THE CLUB TIGHT TO MY BODY. I'M TRYING TO KEEP MY ARM PATH TIGHT TO MY BODY AND NOT LET IT RUN ON, BASICALLY GETTING MY HIPS TO MOVE. I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH MY HIPS MOVING AND ESPECIALLY SINCE MY ACCIDENT MY RIGHT LEG DOESN'T WORK THAT WELL. SO I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH THAT. I TEND TO SLIDE. WHEN I SLIDE, I HIT THESE BLOCKS AND GET THAT OUT OF MY SYSTEM. HE PUTS THE CLUB THERE. >> I SAW SAM THERE ON THE BAG, TOO. >> THAT WAS AT PNC. >> YEAH. >> THAT WAS DIFFERENT. >> SHE DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY GOLF? >> NO. >> HOW COME? >> SHE HAS A NEGATIVE CONNOTATION TO THE GAME BECAUSE AT THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, HEY, GROWING UP WHEN SHE WAS GROWING UP, GOLF TOOK DADDY AWAY FROM HER. I HAD TO PACK, AND I HAD TO LEAVE AND I'D BE GONE FOR WEEKS AND THERE IS A NEGATIVE CONNOTATION TO IT. SO WE DEVELOP OUR OWN RELATIONSHIP, OUR OWN RAPPORT OUTSIDE OF GOLF THAT WE DO THINGS. MEANWHILE, MY SON AND I DO EVERYTHING GOLF RELATED. IT IS JUST VERY DIFFERENT. >> YOU SAID AT THE BEGINNING THE IDEA WAS TO PLAY A TOURNAMENT AT A MONTH. >> I'M HAPPY TO. >> DOES THAT TIME LINE STILL -- ARE YOU READJUSTING? >> I HAVE THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. I HAVE THREE MAJORS AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL WORK OUT? >> HOW DO YOU FEEL PHYSICALLY? >> SORE. >> WHAT DO YOU DO, COLD PLUNGE? >> EVERY DAY RELIGIOUSLY. >> FOR THOSE WATCHING "THE TODAY SHOW," WE HAVE SUNDAY RED, YOUR CLOTHING LINE. WE ALL KNOW YOU WEAR RED ON SUNDAYS AND YOU CRUSH THE COMPETITION. PEOPLE CAN WEAR THIS STUFF AND FEEL LIKE THEY'RE TAPPING INTO YOUR ENERGY OF A SUNDAY RED. TELL PEOPLE WHY YOU WEAR RED BECAUSE THIS IS A WIN FOR MOMS EVERYWHERE AND THERE IS A LOT OF MOMS WATCHING IT. >> I WEAR RED. MY MOM THOUGHT THAT BEING BORN A CAPRICORN THAT RED WAS MY POWER COLOR. SOME OF THE JUNIOR GOLF EVENTS IN CALIFORNIA I WOULD WEAR RED AND I WON. IN SPITE I WORE BLUE JUST IN SPITE. I DIDN'T WIN. SO I THEN SWITCHED TO RED AND I HAD A LOT MORE SUCCESS WEARING RED. SO I THEN SAVED IT FOR, OKAY, MOM, I'LL MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU THAT I WILL WEAR RED ON BIG EVENTS. >> RIGHT. >> ON THE LAST ROUND OF BIG EVENTS BECAUSE I CAN'T WEAR IT EVERY SINGLE DAY. YOU KNOW, SOUTHERN CAL, THEY'RE PLAYING EVERY DAY. >> ALL THE TIME. >> SO I CAN'T DO IT. I'LL WEAR IT ON THE LAST DAY OF BIG EVENTS. SHE SAID, FINE, JUST WEAR IT THE LAST DAY. AND I DID. >> I LOVE THAT. I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW WHY YOU WEAR RED. IT'S TIED TO MOM. >> YEAH, MY MOMMY. >> SPEAKING OF EARLY, YOUR DAD, THERE IS A GREAT PICTURE OF YOU HUGGING YOUR DAD. COMES FULL CIRCLE WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE THERE AND YOU ARE HUGGING CHARLIE. THIS SPLIT SCREEN GETS ME ALL THE TIME. IT IS ONE OF THE GREAT IMAGES OF SPORTS. WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU SEE THAT? >> GENERATIONAL. I JUST WISH MY DAD COULD HAVE MET CHARLIE. I WISH CHARLIE COULD HAVE MET MY DAD. THERE IS A COMMON -- THERE IS A COMMONALITY THAT'S ME IN THERE. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE MET. >> HOW DO YOU KEEP THE SPIRIT ALIVE? WE CALL MY DAD POPS. >> ALWAYS POPS, YEAH. >> WE HAVE PICTURES AROUND. A DRINK MY DAD'S DRINK ON HIS BIRTHDAY AND ALWAYS TELLING STORIES ABOUT HIM TO KEEP HIS SPIRIT ALIVE. HOW DO YOU DO THAT. >> IT IS AMAZING HOW MANY THINGS I SAY TO MY KIDS THAT CAME FROM HIM. >> YOU FEEL LIKE HIM. >> I DO FEEL LIKE HIM. MAN, I WISH I WOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE OF HIS ADVICE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE PAID MORE ATTENTION TO HIM WHEN I WAS ALIVE BECAUSE I'M DOING THE SAME STUFF HE SAID. BUT I'M JUST SO HAPPY THAT HE WAS PART OF MY LIFE AND I GET TO PASS ON SOME OF THE STUFF THAT IS IN ME THROUGH HIM. >> I REMEMBER BEING IN HENDERSON, NEVADA AT A TOURNAMENT WHEN WE WERE TEENAGERS, AND IT WAS LIKE 120 WHEN WE PLAYED. AND I PLAYED LIKE CRAP THAT DAY. I'M TWO YEARS OLDER, SO YOU ARE IN A YOUNGER BRACKET. AFTER YOUR ROUND, YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE ON THE DRIVING RANGE AND YOU WERE HITTING BALLS. >> WHY NOT? >> YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE. AND YOUR DAD WAS OUT THERE. WE WERE ALL LOOKING AROUND GOING, CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS KID? THAT KID IS CRAZY. IT IS 190 DEGREES OUT. >> WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? >> THAT'S HOW YOU WERE, MAN, ALL THE WAY BACK THERE. I THINK YOU HAVE A LOVE OF THE MILITARY. WE SHARE THAT. DO YOU THINK IF YOU DIDN'T PLAY GOLF, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE MILITARY? >> DEFINITELY. I WOULD HAVE SERVED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE, BUT I WOULD HAVE SERVED. >> TELL ME ABOUT THE LOGO. >> OKAY. THE LOGO IS A TIGER. IT'S NICE AND CLEAN. BUT THERE IS SOME KIND OF -- THERE IS SOME REPRESENTATION OF WHAT I HAVE DONE IN MY CAREER. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STRIPES, THERE'S 15 STRIPES. AS YOU ELUDED TO EARLIER, I WON 15 MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS. >> WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU WIN AT VALLALA. >> MY GOAL IS TO RUIN THE LOGO. IF THE TRADEMARK IS THIS AND MY JOB IS TO RUIN IT. >> WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO WEAR YOUR OWN CLOTHING LINE? >> IT IS INCREDIBLE TO WEAR SOMETHING DESIGNED BY ATHLETES MADE FOR ATHLETES. >> YOUR CADDY IS HERE, UNCLE AL. >> I HAVE TO PLAY THROUGH. >> THANK YOU. >> HOW DO YOU CARRY THESE THINGS?
