Bryson DeChambeau sends retirement message to Tiger Woods after PGA Tour star’s future questioned
Bryson DeChambeau Backs Tiger Woods to Continue Competing at the Top
Bryson DeChambeau has given his full support to Tiger Woods, believing the 15-time major champion still has what it takes to compete at the highest level in professional golf. This comes after Woods’ future in the sport was questioned following his missed cut at The Open Championship last week.
Woods, who has been open about his perseverance to play in the four major championships, was quick to dismiss claims that he should retire from competing. He stated, “Well, as a past champion, I’m exempt until I’m 60. Colin is not. He is not a past champion, so he’s not exempt. So he doesn’t get the opportunity to make that decision. I do. So when I get to his age, I get to make that decision, where he doesn’t.”
DeChambeau, speaking at LIV Golf UK, praised Woods’ influence on the game and his determination to continue competing. “He’s probably the most influential figure in the game of golf. He is the most influential figure in the game of golf right now, and I think he deserves to play in the majors. He’s done more than enough for this great game, and he continues to give back by playing in these tournaments and trying to win.”
DeChambeau believes Woods still has the ability to win a record-breaking 83rd PGA Tour title, despite the current crop of modern stars. “I think he can do it still… He’s going to have a tough road to beat us youngsters, but he’s got that grit and fire in him that he is not going to stop until he gets it done. I wouldn’t put it past him.”
DeChambeau also discussed his recent YouTube video playing golf with former US President Donald Trump. He explained, “First off, it’s an honor to play with anybody of that type of influence, no matter who it is on any political side… We were able to call out and ask him to play, and he said yeah, absolutely. We asked the other side, as well, and anyone that wants to play. They’re more than willing to do something for charity.”
DeChambeau emphasized the importance of charity in his collaboration with Trump, stating, “Wanted to make it about charity and the wounded warriors foundation.” This highlights DeChambeau’s commitment to giving back to the community through his platform.
