'This is why you deserve this: because you're a fighter. You've defied the odds every time.'
. As much as the night was about Tiger's accomplishments, we think it's fair to say that Sam stole the show with a speech that was sweet, funny, and emotional and showed us a more personal side of the golfing great. Tiger himself agreed:"I feel so honored to have been inducted into the @golfhalloffame tonight," he wrote on."Having Sam introduce me and my family there watching, it made it even that more special.
So how did Sam honor her dad? Her speech introducing Tiger touched on his impact on her life and that of her, Tiger's children with ex-wife Elin Nordegren. Sam spoke about the day of her birth, June 18, 2007, when Tiger rushed from the US Open in Pittsburgh to the Orlando hospital where Nordegren was giving birth."He may have lost that day," Sam joked, referencing Tiger's one-stroke loss at the tournament,"but he won the greatest gift of all.
She also spoke about Tiger's constant presence in her life and how she and Charlie slowly started to realize how much of a celebrity he was."It's been at the soccer fields and golf tournaments over the years that Charlie and I have begun to realize how famous he actually is," she said.
