Tiger going to extremes to prepare for British Open
    2019-07-10  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

WHILE most on the Eastern seaboard are deep in their sleep, Tiger Woods is wide awake these days — for training purposes.

In an effort to adjust to the time-zone change when he and the rest of the golfing world head across the Atlantic Ocean to Royal Portrush and the 148th Open Championship later this month, the 15-time major champion has been waking up at 1 a.m., or 6 a.m. local time in Northern Ireland.

The time difference means Woods will have to have his body ready for optimal performance earlier in the day than it’s used to, hence the unique training strategy with 10 days before the first round.

Nike, a longtime sponsor of Woods, posted an Instagram story Monday with Woods speaking into the camera, timestamped at 1 a.m.

“Hey Nike, it’s Tiger. Wake up!” Woods says into the camera. “It is now 1 a.m. here on the East Coast. Why am I doing this right now? Because it is now 6 a.m. at Royal Portrush. I will be playing the Open Championship there and in order to be prepared for the time change I’m getting up.”

Woods went on to offer some motivation.

“If you want to succeed, if you want to get better, if you want to win, if you want to accomplish your goals, it all starts with getting up early in the morning. Have a great day!”(SD-Agencies)
