Couples’ video declaring Woods to be the greatest of all time went viral, and now there is another clip of him that has garnered attention. The 63-year-old can be seen discussing his relationship with the Hall of Famer in a video that the PGA Tour aired on YouTube. Couples discussed how their shared bond evolved into a father-son type of relationship while discussing their bond.

While talking about how he acted as the 15-times major winner’s father, Couples said, “As I got older, it was more about his back. You know, you gotta be careful. I know your kids are small, but they’re running at you and jump in your arms. You know, wear tennis shoes, forget these dress shoes. When you go to these black-tie events, wear dark tennis shoes. You know, no one cares what you’re wearing, but you can’t wear those shoes. And so, I became his dad in a roundabout way. Except for when you talk golf. With Tiger, it’s a little family oriented. And it’s a lot of how’re you feeling.”
