Ahead of the 2024 British Open at Royal Troon, the Scotland native made clear what he thinks the 15-time major winner should do.
TROON, Scotland—Colin Montgomerie, Europe’s Ryder Cup legend, has called for Tiger Woods to retire as he is set to play his 23rd British Open this week.
Woods has played just five events since ankle surgery following last year’s Masters. This year, he withdrew during the second round of the Genesis Invitational, made the cut for a record 24th straight time at the Masters before finishing 60th, then missed the cut at both the PGA Championship and U.S. Open.
Montgomerie, 61, is playing the PGA Tour Champions full time and has made just $130,000 in 11 events prior to this week’s Senior Players Championship. In 1997, he got a third-round view of a 21-year old Woods at Augusta National when he shot a Saturday 65 to build a nine-shot lead on the way to his first of 15 major titles.
The Scot never won a major and finished second to Woods at the Old Course at St. Andrews in 2005. He also lost playoffs to Ernie Els at the 1994 U.S. Open and to Steve Elkington at the '95 PGA Championship.
