adminDORAL. — PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem says Tiger Woods’ golf legacy is on solid ground and the sport will continue to prosper even after the 14-time major winner eventually steps away for good.
Finchem said he doesn’t know when Woods will play next but he compared Woods’ latest hiatus to Michael Jordan leaving the NBA to try his luck at professional baseball.
“The PGA TOUR is going to be fine,” Finchem said on Sunday at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championships.
“How concerned are we about him stepping away? You know, it’s the same thing we had in 2012.
“We had it for a period of time in 2009 and 2010. It’s good news and bad news. I mean, it’s more bad news than good news because it’s like Michael Jordan stepping away to play baseball that year. He’s your No. 1 player.” — AFP.
