Tiger Woods makes a surprising assessment of Collin Morikawa

Woods, after round three, made it to the broadcast team and praised Collin Morikawa for his unreal golfing skills. He said, “The 24-year-old (Morikawa) won two major championships. And he doesn’t really do anything wrong. He doesn’t really have wild misses. He’s super, super consistent, unbelievable iron player.”  

Meanwhile, Collin currently leads the event with a score of -18. Moreover, he has a five-shot lead going into the final day and is all set to take home the Hero World Challenge trophy. Furthermore, with this win, Morikawa will overtake Rahm as the world no.1 on the OWGR rankings and become the second-fastest to world no.1 with 66 starts. 

Hence, Tiger is a huge fan of Morikawa, and he made an interesting comparison of Collin with Furyk. He said, “I don’t want to sound insulting. But in a way, Morikawa plays like an athletic Jim Furyk. Don’t take that the wrong way, Jim. I am sorry if you’re watching. Morikawa’s longer, but he thinks methodically around the golf course like Furyk.”

Hearing these comments from Tiger Woods, the golf world reacted to this. So let us see what do fans think about this assessment of Collin Morikawa from Tiger.
