After hearing him speak, Navratilova quoted the tweet with the video of Tiger’s press conference and wrote, “And Tiger would be right.”

Earlier in a statement, Tiger Woods criticized another legend, Phil Mickelson, for preferring the LIV Golf series over the PGA Tour. Even then, the legendary Czech-American tennis player applauded Woods, as she tweeted, “Good to hear!”
