Never seen anything like it’: Geoff Ogilvy on shocking Tiger Woods feat
“No, I don’t know if you did [want to face Tiger Woods in his prime],” Ogilvy says. “Well, you did for the experience, but you weren’t going to beat him. No one was going to beat him. I don’t know, he was special.”
Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open champion and eight-time PGA Tour winner, joined this week’s episode of GOLF’s Subpar podcast to discuss course design, the evolution of TV broadcasts, the complicated future of pro golf and lots more, but much of the conversation focused on what it was like playing against and with Woods.
Woods, at 48, is about a year-and-a-half older than Ogilvy, and Ogilvy remembers watching the 1992 LA Open as a kid in Australia, where a 16-year-old Woods made his PGA Tour debut. The announcers on the TV broadcast were raving about what a bright future Woods had.
