Tiger Woods is one of the most legendary players in the field of golf. The 15-time major winner has won more hearts than championships. Woods doesn’t have many friends inside the golf community. However, due to his humble nature, people always support him in everything he does. And there was a time when golf legend, John Daly, extended his support to the golfer during a much-needed time.

John Daly supported Tiger Woods during a rough patch

Tiger Woods has gone through a lot in his personal life. There wasn’t a huge gap between the times when the golfer got divorced and when he met a horrifying car crash. His near-death accident shook the golf world for days until he came back from the hospital.

However, some people didn’t care about the golfer’s condition since it was around the time when Woods was going through an alleged controversy. Golf fans were already roasting Woods for the controversy, but even some players took advantage of the player’s vulnerability. Golfers including Jesper Parnevik made some disturbing statements about Tiger Woods during the time.

However, there was one person who stood against everyone. John Daly took a stand for Woods during the controversy and said, “He will get through it – I wish them the best…I’m not too happy with what some of the players have said about him.”

Daly added, “it’s because of Tiger that we’re playing for so much money and hopefully he and Elin can work it out…he raises the bar for all of us to play better golf as well.” The golf legend’s words were motivating enough for Tiger Woods since he was going through a very tough situation in his life.

Has Woods recovered from his leg injury?

Looking at the recent matches he played, it is clear that the golfer is still struggling with underlying pain. He has not been able to recover fully from the injuries he got from the car crash. Moreover, Woods also admitted that it was hard for him to walk for longer times on the field. And to avoid any unnecessary pressure on his foot, Woods used a golf cart to move to the holes. But according to some sources, Woods is working hard to get back to his best form. They also said that Woods is playing golf for at least 1-2 hours every day.
