‘I would pay to watch Tiger Woods until he’s 90,’ says Piers Morgan at the Alfred Dunhill Links
Piers Morgan has backed Tiger Woods to continue playing competitively for as long as he sees fit.
The TV presenter, who is competing with professional golfer Matthew Jordan in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland this week, said: ‘I think Tiger should play as long as he wants.
“I would pay to watch Tiger Woods until he’s 90. So if he wants to keep playing golf, let him play.
‘I remember he got written off last time, and then he won the Masters again. And suddenly all the critics who told him to give up look really, really stupid.
Tiger Woods should not say goodbye to competitive golf before he wants to, Piers Morgan insists.
Morgan says Tiger Woods should never be written off, as he proved by winning the Masters.
“I would never, ever write off Tiger Woods. Obviously his body isn’t quite there yet, but if he wants to get back into good shape, he’s an incredible athlete, with amazing mental strength – why can’t he keep going?
“I think Tiger is the best to ever play the game. Just think about Peak Tiger, if you watch the videos of him or watched him at the time like I did, and you compare him to any other golfer in history, there’s no comparison, I don’t think.
‘Of course there are other greats, but peak Tiger Woods, he would have killed anyone.’
