Any one without serious disability could run at least 100 mpw. It's all about motivation and commitment. Tiger had neither of them, because his passion was in golf, and not in running.

The most Letsrun post all day
Guy doesn't ever run, gets knee problems: "I have bad knees."
Guy runs, gets knee problems: "Running caused my bad knees."
This is the depth of analysis into the topic in our world.
I'm sure this is true... this slow jogging junk that took off in the 70s deteriorates the body and joints... just look at how distance runners have destroyed their natural athleticism and mobility through jogging...
interval training is better for the body and provides more cardiovascular gains anyway
If he wasn't getting injured, or sore, at the time he was actually running then his claim is bogus.
Some of his problems are the normal aging process, and some is from his swinging the clubs hundreds of time a day for 20 years or so. And as good as he was perhaps his body structurally wasn't ready to play at that level forever. Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle were done at age 38. Does Tiger thing he is immune from growing old like them?

So Olympic Champ and World Record Holder Billy Mills wasn't motivated enough? Because Billy tried 100 mile weeks many times but always got injured. He ended up finding his sweet spot at 70 miles a week before grabbing the Gold.
unpopular opinion:
most recreational runners get injured once or more per year
lifelong runners define survivorship bias
the difference between these two groups is not that one is motivated, tough, and wiser, and the other not

Like most things in life, running injuries would go away if you ignore them long enough. If Mills gave up on 100 mpw because he got injured, he didn't have enough motivation to hobble through pains.
running = code word for steroids

Interval training without weekly long run = failure.
To be fair, Lydiard said the same thing...
