Tiger
Woods took in stride the comments made by Rory McIlroy last week about
him and Phil Mickelson being on the “last few holes” of their careers,
ESPN reports.
“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.”
