Nicklaus leads tributes to ‘living legend’ Tiger
    2019-10-30  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

JACK NICKLAUS led the tributes to Tiger Woods on Monday after the golfing great secured a record 82nd US PGA Tour win at the weather-disrupted Zozo Championship.

“Incredibly happy for @TigerWoods — and for game of golf — on his 82nd @PGATOUR win,” tweeted Nicklaus, who has won 18 majors.

“For a number of years, all we wanted was to see Tiger healthy again, for his quality of life.

“But it’s very obvious that the surgery and the hard work Tiger put in resulted in quality of golf!” Nicklaus added after Woods tied Sam Snead’s all-time mark for PGA Tour wins.

World No. 14 Tony Finau, who was also in the field in Japan, called Woods a “Living legend!” on Twitter. “Congrats on No. 82 @TigerWoods!” he added as social media lit up on the news of yet another career comeback milestone.

PGA Tour boss Jay Monahan was watching from home in the United States and said by phone: “It’s just one of those ‘wow’ moments. When you see something happen in sport that you didn’t think was possible, it’s just a really historic and special moment for our sport.”

World No. 2 Rory McIlroy who tied third, a distant six strokes behind Woods, said he’d quickly done the maths and said he would have to win “six times a year for the next 10 years” to get close to Woods.

U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland had a front-row seat as Woods’s playing partner for the last two rounds and said it had been a privilege to watch.

“I think it’s a lot harder to win week-in and week-out out here,” he said.

“Obviously the majors speak for themselves, but 82’s just a crazy number.”(SD-Agencies)
