McDowell clarifies comments about Tiger

Ryder Cup star Graeme McDowell has taken to social media in an attempt to clarify comments he made about world No 1 Tiger Woods.

Former US Open champion McDowell spoke to a group of reporters at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week and was quoted on pgatour.com saying that 14-time Major winner Woods has “lost that sort of force field of invincibility around him”.

“The aura is not as strong,” McDowell added. “He’s still Tiger Woods, still the greatest player ever in my opinion. I don’t remember the first time I played with him but there was a real ‘wow’ factor. He was playing a different sport than me. But guys get older, stuff happens.”
