Greg Norman names surprising LIV Golf star he thinks has been better than Tiger Woods
The American has thrown his support behind the 32-year-old – who will not be playing at The Masters in 2024. During an appearance on the LIV Golf broadcast of their Miami tournament, Norman gave Gooch a very high form of praise
“Talor Gooch is the best iron player in the game of golf in the past 20 years that I’ve personally witnessed,” he said. “I’ve just loved watching him. His iron play is so precise.” This proved controversial as shocked fans shared their responses in the comments, and one name kept coming up. “Tiger might like a word,” one posted
Everybody knows Tiger is the best in history”, this fan said while another added: “Tiger Woods ever heard of him.” One joked user said: “He must’ve never witnessed Tiger play golf,” while another wrote: “Tiger: “Hold my beer.” Woods is regarded by many as the greatest golf player of all time. He has 15 majors to his name, the last of which came at The Masters in 2019. It was confirmed on Friday that the 48-year-old, who has not played since the Genesis Open in February, will return to action at Augusta on April 11.
His official website posted an update in which the first golf major of the year had been added to his schedule. Though there is plenty of excitement to see the golf legend compete on the biggest stage once again, there are concerns over his lack of golf and whether his body can withstand the rigours of competing at another major.
