Qatar, Jan 28 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Kenny Perry asked the World Number 1 golfer Tiger Woods to end his self-imposed exile from golf. It may be recalled that Tiger Woods had admitted to his ‘transgressions’ and then taken a break from golf, to focus on his family.
“Tiger needs to come back for himself rather than his golf and when he does I’m going to give him a hug and shake his hand and tell him if he needs to talk or if I can help in any way, I will. “I’ve been on the (U.S.) PGA Tour for 25 years and I enjoy going on tour each week because there are 150 guys I am pretty close to that I love to go and hang out with,” added the veteran American. If he comes back to us I’m sure he’ll get a lot of support from the players, I really do.” Perry was talking with the reporters on the eve of the Qatar Masters.
He said that the golf fraternity was Tiger Woods’ family too. Kenny Perry has played with the scandal ridden ace golfer in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup team events, and knows him quite well. He also said that the game of golf is bigger than any player, so even though Tiger Woods might not be there, the game would go on. Kenny was criticized a lot, when he skipped the British Open 2008, and he clarified to the media persons that he would compete in the July edition at St Andrews.
