Abu Dhabi: Support continued to pour in for
Tiger woods with tennis star Boris Becker and Olympic sprinter
Edwin Moses today saying that the disgraced golfer is now
facing the biggest challenge in his life of making a comeback.
During a discussion on who should be the Laureus best
sportsperson of the decade, six-time Grand Slam singles
champion Becker said that Tiger is in that list for his
golfing achievements and not for his private life antics.
"He (Tiger) is one of the most famous sportspersons and
people want to know what happened behind the scene. We have
heard stories which we didn't expect but it should not matter.
I think the next big challenge for him would be to make a
comeback," Becker said.
"True champions has to comeback from difficult situation,
Tiger has shown that in the golf course but I think this will
be the biggest challenge for him to make a comeback this
time," he said.
Olympic gold medallist Moses of USA also echoed his view.
"In life different things happen to people but if you see
from the performance point of view, the way Tiger has
contributed in golf, it shows how important he is," Moses
said.
