"Quit and retire, you ...." is just one piece of unsolicited advice Tiger Woods has received since his game took a nosedive over the last year or so," reported SBNation.com.
Former world No. 1 Tiger woods laughs off some of the criticism from the crowd when he is not in top form. Often people comment on what's wrong with his game and how to fix it. But Tiger manages to laugh it off.
"Just like a body part, everyone has an opinion," Woods, laughing, quipped via video conference during Monday's media day to promote next month's Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston. "I've had a lot of people just say, basically, 'hey, quit and retire, you suck.'"
Currently, Tiger is up to No. 262 after the T18 finish at the Quicken Loans National. But he is still 85 slots behind competing in the DBC.
"Winning my fifth PGA would be nice," he said in the SBNation report. This would be one way to make his way to the Deutsche Bank qualifiers.
"A lot of it is dependent on what I do with the PGA and whether or not I have a chance to make the playoffs," Woods told SBNation. "I need to obviously play well at the PGA to get myself to move up in points and then give myself an opportunity to get into the playoffs. Right now I'm so far off that I need to have a really high finish."
At any rate, Woods sounds upbeat about his swing changes he will be making with consultant Chris Como.
Woods has lifted a trophy from Firestone twice and he might just do it again, according to analysts.
Tiger explained his retirement in an online interview, "There will come a point in time where I will retire," Woods was quoted as saying by Sbnation.com. "I'm not going to be out here forever. I'm not going to be one of those guys that plays at 70 years old and is one of those guys taking up a spot. If I still feel that I'm competitive and I can play at a high level and can win golf tournaments, yeah, I'll stay out here."
