Former Golf world number one Tiger Woods has described as funny Rory Mcllroy's comments about his age.
Mcllroy last week, came under criticisms for his comments about Phil Mickelson and Woods being in the “last few holes” of their careers.
“I thought it was funny,” Woods said on Monday at a news conference to promote his annual golf tournament. “I mean, Phil has less holes to play than I do, though. What is he, five years older than me or four? Yeah, so yeah, it’s a reality, you know? We’re all older.
“I’m nearing my 20th season on tour here coming up pretty soon. I’ve been out here for a while, and Phil has been out here for a while. … It’s just part of the ageing process. When I first came out here on tour, I remember seeing some of these fellow players and their kids, and now I’m actually playing against their kids. It’s just how time goes on and time goes by.”
