Why Does Tiger Woods Never Gain Weight? The Secret Was Once Revealed by the 15x Major Champion Himself
Tiger Woods has rarely looked more ripped than now. Conventional wisdom says prolonged rests tend to show on the physique. Yet, Woods has rarely shown a dad bod despite having multiple surgeries and staying away from the green. While his impressive training regimen is one reason, the 15-time major champion has a tendency to lose weight.
Tiger Woods once revealed that he tends to lose weight every time he hits the greens. Four rounds of Golf means a loss of three to four pounds of his body mass. So, no matter, how much he eats, or whatever he eats, Woods never looks out of shape.
In a chat with Bleacher Report, Tiger Woods said, “I tend to lose weight when I play. Every time I play I lose three to four pounds per tournament.” But it’s not just weight. Six hours of golf per day is enervating. According to multiple studies, playing a round of 18-hole golf burns 900-1200 calories. For pros, the number is presumably on the higher side.

This is why Woods prefers to eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches to maintain his energy level. Studies show that two pieces of whole wheat bread with two spoons of butter have 17 grams of protein, 7 grams of fiber, and 402 nutrient-dense calories.
It’s absolutely not the latest vegan trend. Contrarily, Golf’s love affair with peanut butter sandwiches is quite old. Even Al Geiberger dedicated his PGA Championship victory to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. That was in 1966.
As far as Tiger Woods is concerned, he is a fan. Not just on the greens. But a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a go-to snack for the 15-time major winner at home as well. He even shared a recipe a few years back.

Tiger Woods’s peanut butter and sandwich is as simple as you can ask for. No extra spread. Toast two whole wheat breads. Two tablespoons of all-natural almond butter goes over them. Add half a banana slice to the piece. Then add raw unfiltered honey on top of it and bingo. Now you have Tiger Woods’s favorite snack.
In more recent times, Woods has given insight into his entire diet plans. His usual breakfast is egg white, omelet, and veggies. Whereas, salads, lean meats, and seafood are his go-to for lunch. Tiger Woods gets his carbs from mostly fruits, green vegetables, and sports drinks. But whatever he eats, he makes sure to shed all the extra calories on the greens.
