Tiger Woods hasn’t just been a great golfer, he’s been an intimidating presence. It’s been quite common for golfers to melt when brought too near Tiger’s heat. However, at least one golfer thinks that Tiger’s aura may not be as strong when Tiger eventually returns: Colin Montgomerie.

“It is absolutely impossible to play good golf,” said Montgomerie during an interview with Sky Sports when asked if Tiger can play good golf with all of his unsettled personal issues.

Continued Montgomerie: “There is no question there was an aura about Tiger Woods over this incredible record he has, not just in majors but in other world events. That wall has been split slightly and there are cracks.”

While most golfers haven’t talked extensively to the media about Tiger’s troubles, Montgomerie isn’t exactly known to backing down from a mic. The 46-year-old native of Scotland doesn’t have a very good relationship with the American public, which may give him a unique look into what Tiger could face in coming years.

Said Montgomerie: “A round of golf is an emotional roller-coaster anyway. I think it must have been similar for him: When you hit a shot and it goes left or right into the woods, immediately thoughts creep in during the long, two to three-minute walk to find the ball.”
