It was a historic victory last week for Tiger Woods, now atop the PGA Tour's all-time wins list following his latest triumph at the Zozo Championship. And while he might be best known for the intense focus he showed on the course during his prime, some of the game's top stars now see a softer side of a player who remains just as successful.
Rory McIlroy tied for third last week in Japan behind Woods, and he's one of the headliners in the field for this week's WGC-HSBC Champions. Asked by reporters in China to reflect on Woods' most recent victory, he shared a belief that the injury woes Woods endured in recent years have added a newfound perspective to the 15-time major champ.
