Piers Morgan has backed Tiger Woods to continue playing competitively for as long as he sees fit.
The TV host, who is competing in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland this week alongside pro golfer Matthew Jordan, 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 him being written off last time, and then he won the Masters again. And suddenly all the critics that told him to give up, look very, very stupid.
Tiger Woods should not say goodbye to competitive golf until he wants to, insists Piers Morgan.
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’s not quite there yet, but if he was to get back to proper fitness, he’s an incredible athlete, with amazing mental strength — why can’t he carry on?
‘I think Tiger is the greatest to ever play the game. Just think peak Tiger, if you watch the videos of him or watched him at the time as I did, and you compare him to any other golfer in history, there’s no comparison, I don’t think.
‘Obviously there are other greats, but peak Tiger Woods, he would have killed everyone.’
