‘He Was Proud’ – Tony Finau Reveals the Message He Received From Tiger Woods Following Northern Trust Victory
For anyone interested in golf, Tiger Woods is a legend who won it all during his prime. While currently sidelined, he still remains one of the greatest golfers of all time. That being said, Tony Finau – who won the 2021 Northern Trust – recently received a congratulatory message from Woods, making it an extra special win for him.
Finau’s Northern Trust victory is an important win for him and his fans, who have been waiting for years for another PGA Tour title. His last win came at the Puerto Rico Open at Coco Beach in 2016, where he won against Steve Marino. The 31-year-old has since then improved as a golfer, continuing to push till he bagged another title.
