He said, “Well, that’s what sports is. It’s the ultimate reality show. You don’t know what’s going to happen, you don’t know the outcome. You could have underdogs beating the glass and you could have tough type competitions. I as an athlete, I missed that.”

He added, “I know what it feels like to be in that arena. We, as golfers, we’ve been playing a lot down here, a lot of the guys have been playing matches around here, but it’s still not playing for trophies. It’s just different and we miss competing, I just really do, I really do miss watching my friends go out there and do it at a high level, and I put whatever they have on the line to succeed.”

The former World Number One’s words prove how much professionals enjoy having the unpredictability in golf. At the same time, it also depicts how maybe that is one thing that competitive golf is missing right now.
