adminLONDON. — Former world No. 1 golfer David Duval is not ready to write off Tiger Woods, but he knows from personal experience how difficult it is to play hurt and without confidence.Duval, in his new role as a Golf Channel analyst, will be among those closely following the progress of the 14-times major champion who will make his season debut at next week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open after an injury-hit 2014. Duval, the 2001 British Open champion whose career was curtailed by a bad back, believes it is hard to overestimate the toll that a loss of confidence can take on a golfer.
“Through everything I went through I realised the most important thing to protect as a golfer is your confidence and your arrogance, for want of a better word,” Duval said. You need to have 100 percent belief in what you’re doing and think you’re bulletproof out there.” — Reuters.
