Tiger Woods is a person who is for many a symbol of golf as a sport. Throughout his long career, which is still ongoing, Tiger has shown qualities that we have never seen before. Brilliant performances, incredible mindset and focus are the reason why Tiger is such a beloved figure in the world of golf.
He is the reason why some people even started playing this sport, watching this sport and enjoying its charms.
In addition to the qualities on the golf course, the 49-year-old golfer has brought additional excitement to golf fans in various ways.
Are there golfers in this era who remind you of Tiger? Former PGA Tour player Kevin Na shared his opinion, saying that Bryson DeChambeau is the golfer who reminds him the most of Woods; at least in terms of excitement.
I think Bryson [DeChambeau] is the closest to it, in terms of the excitement, Na said, as quoted by the Golfing Gazette.
I think Rory [McIlroy] is pretty exciting. I think [Jon] Rahm is pretty exciting, and Joaquin [Niemann] is becoming that player as well.
I think there are different characters to the game that bring that kind of energy. Obviously, Tiger was dominating with his power and was blowing the field away. Even though he was four or five behind with nine to play, it was like, he is going to win, he is going to go on a crazy run."
Kevin Na was Woods fan
Kevin Na reveals that he was a Woods fan as a kid, just like most kids at that time. Most of them wanted to become a dominant figure on the golf scene, just like Tiger.
While some are not sure that there are golfers in the world of golf who can reach the heights that Tiger has reached, Kevin Na does not share this opinion. The popular golfer believes that there are some golfers who could leave at least a similar deep mark as the 49-year-old.
Speaking about the progress of golf in recent years, Na feels that golf has seen great progress, but that it has also become significantly more exciting and fun
I remember watching as a kid and being a fan of Tiger. It was incredible. But I think there are characters that can follow in his footsteps or become maybe not that Tiger Woods icon level, but up close to that level, and we can have three or four guys kind of equal Tiger.
I think golf has become more entertaining and more exciting than before. In the 90s, I grew up watching golf, and I became a pro in the early 2000s, and I played with all these guys on the Senior Tour who are playing now, and I think golf has become more entertaining."- he concluded.
