Woods almost owns tee showing strengths (6)

'strengths' is the definition.
('forte' can be a synonym of 'strength')

'woods almost owns tee' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'tee' could be 't' and 't' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fores' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'showing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
