Tiger Woods delivered a jab directed at Colin Montgomerie in response to the latter’s latest critique.
Montgomerie made headlines final week for his interview with The Times. The 61-year-old claimed that Woods has foolishly held on to his profession for too lengthy. Montgomerie additionally advised that Woods settle for his destiny and at last retire.
Montgomerie has since said that his feedback have been taken out of context. However that hasn’t stopped the story from reaching Woods.
On Tuesday, Woods spoke to the media forward of this week’s Open Championship. The 15-time main winner was requested to explain how he felt about Montgomerie’s criticism.
“Nicely, as a previous champion,” Woods mentioned, via Golf.com’s Nick Piastowski. “I’m exempt till I’m 60. Colin’s not. He’s not a previous champion, so he’s not exempt. So he doesn’t get the chance to make that call. I do.”
