Conor McGregor Pens Touching Message to ‘Golf Goat’ & ‘Friend’ Tiger Woods Amidst Emotional Masters Comeback

‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor is taking inspiration from everywhere he can get to make a successful return. The Irish superstar keeps his eyes and ears open and stays updated with what’s happening around the world.

Lately, the Irishman has been giving hints for a possible return sometime this year. Considering his long layoff could end soon, he noted inspiration from one of the golf legends, Tiger Woods’ superb return to the Masters.

‘The Notorious‘ on his Twitter account, while praising the great, wrote, “Hats off to the Golf Goat @TigerWoods this weekend. Grit and hard work can combine for a comeback- the world is cheering for you.”

“Congratulations, my friend.”

The Irishman is going through a recovery process after his leg snapped in the first round at UFC 264 against his bitter rival Dustin Poirier, in what was a trilogy bout of the highest magnitude. Thus, he would look to replicate the success of the 46-year-old.

Woods‘ performance is remarkable as he’s been out of the game for so long. After suffering serious injuries from the car crash, the legend has not stepped to the field for almost one and half years.

Meanwhile, on the field, any of these didn’t hamper his performance as he performed as he had never left. The crowd was all behind the returning legend.
