“It's cool to be anywhere with Tiger” - Bernhard Langer on Tiger Woods' athleticism and dedication to the game at the PNC Championship

The PNC Championship ended on 17th December, with the Langer team winning the tournament. Right after their event, Bernhard Langer went on to praise Tiger Woods and his passion for the game.

At a press conference, Langer applauded the 82-time PGA Champion and called him an outstanding athlete. He emphasized Tiger Woods' incredible skill before he underwent surgeries and mentioned that the American was still maintaining his form after overcoming injuries.

Bernhard Langer said:

“It's cool to be anywhere with Tiger plays because he moves the needle and there's more interest there's more Spectators more TV or any of that stuff. He's an incredible athlete. And he was unbelievable before he got hurt and now even with all the surgeries he had. And he's come back and he's still incredible, he's fun to watch.”

He added:

“He can still move the ball amazing distances and gets very focused. But I mentioned this earlier for Tiger to play this and last year and maybe the year before means a great deal. It shows how much it means to Tiger to play with his son Charlie here and elevates this PNC Championship to bigger heights, he added.”

It's worth mentioning that both Tiger Woods and Bernhard Langer shared the experience of playing professional golf together 30 years back at the 1994 Johnnie Walker Classic in Thailand.
