Tiger Woods is taking a look back on his career in a new documentary produced by ESPN. In a clip of G.O.A.T.s: The Greatest of All Time obtained by PEOPLE, Woods, who is currently recovering from a car accident, reflects on being “the youngest ever to win” the Junior World Championships in the 10-and-under-age division. At that moment, the win “showed me that I could play against the world’s best, even though I was only 8 years old.”
“It got me started on the right path โ I had the self-belief that I could do it,” he said in the clip. “Coming back [after losing my first two years] to become the youngest ever to win the event, that meant a lot to me.” Woods also talked about what he had to do in order to battle adversity. “I have to overcome all my inner demons to perform, ’cause no one’s gonna bail me out,” Woods explains. “It’s not like … [you can have] a bad game and just sit out.”
