Shooting his age (85) would probably be a disappointment for Arnold Palmer these days, but that doesn’t keep the legend from dispensing advice when needed.
When talking to Tiger Woods about the latter’s decision to miss the Arnold Palmer Invitational for a second straight year, Palmer said he kept it simple.
“For me to tell Tiger what he could do … there’s only one thing I can say, and that’s practice. And confidence,” Palmer said. “Regain the confidence he had when he was starting out, and that was what made him what he is and that’s the way he’ll get it back. Just regain the confidence and the ability to hit the golf ball.”
Palmer is fifth all-time on the list of PGA victories with 62. Woods is second with 79, three behind all-time leader Sam Snead.
