It’s simple. i retired from Disney in 2014 to fulfill a purpose bigger than Disney. Note the new Cast Member ID card middle-right: RETIREE. And as i write this it’s 2026 and i’ve finally retired a second time, December 31, 2025.

Had the opportunity at my gym to ask Tiger a few questions. The first question, “What advice would you give to someone who wanted to be the best in the world at something?”
“Out work ’em.”
There you have it.
