Tiger Woods aims brutal dig at Barstool Sports podcaster who he previously humiliated in viral golf video..👇👇
That honour belongs to Scottie Scheffler, who is putting up Woods-like numbers and dominating the PGA Tour.
For longtime golf fans, Gary Player is still a respected name that rings out.
Player has very specific and passionate ideas about what went wrong for Woods and why.
According to the 88-year-old Player, who has 24 PGA wins and captured nine majors, Woods made a major mistake in the distant past.

Player told KW Golf that switching golf coaches ‘ruined’ Woods’ career and it all went wrong way back in 2000.
“Tiger Woods had his career ruined, completely ruined,” Player remarked.
“The US Open at Pebble Beach, he won by 15 shots. You know what that’s like? It’s like running the 100 meters in seven seconds.
The next week, he’s having a lesson from a man who, I don’t think, if he played in the Masters, could break 80.
“And then he goes to another guy who couldn’t probably break 85 in the Masters with the pressure, or the British Open or the PGA on the final day. And he’s having lessons from them.”
