.TigerWoods calls BlackLivesMatter movement 'fantastic' | IOLSport

NEW DELHI – Few voices in sport count as much Tiger Woods'. Many, many years ago, his father, Earl Woods, speaking of his son, had said he could make a difference that goes way beyond sport.

On the eve of the tournament he has won five times and on a course called ‘Jack's House', Woods also weighed in on the ‘Black Lives Matter' movement. Woods has always been careful about making statements, especially political, but as he gets ready to play for the first time since the death of George Floyd, he called the movement ‘fantastic'.Maintaining this movement is the way for our society to move forward, Woods said, “I think change is fantastic.

44-year-old Woods' last four starts have been a win at Zozo Championship in Japan in the last week of October; fourth at Hero World Challenge in the first week of December; tied-9th at Farmers' Insurance in the last week of January and 68th at Genesis Invitational in the third week of February. Five months on, he is back on the tee at Muirfield Village for the Memorial.

Even though he praised the safety measures the PGA Tour has put in place, Woods admits that traveling is still a “risk.” He said, “That's the risk that I'm taking, the risk we're all taking now.”
