PALM BEACH, FL — For decades, Tiger Woods has been the definition of resilience. He has stared down broken bones, career-threatening spinal surgeries, and highly publicized personal downfalls, only to walk back onto the green with the same steely gaze that terrified opponents in the late 1990s. But today, the 15-time Major champion is reportedly facing a different kind of pressure—one that cannot be fixed with a swing adjustment or a rigorous physical therapy regimen.
