When GOAT meets GOAT: Tiger joins Messi on Barcelona tour
It has been a while since we’ve seen a photo of Tiger Woods in public. In fact it’s been a while since we’ve seen anything to do with the 14-time major champion.
In fact, July 3 was the last time Tiger updated us on his health after his DUI incident when he gave a short statement on the fact he had entered rehab. In Tiger terms, that’s a hell of a long time not to hear anything.
But he’s back – and it’s not even to do with golf. OK. Tiger shared a photo on Sunday of him with his kids and some friends alongside football superstars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez after Barcelona’s pre-season friendly with Real Madrid in Miami…
Thank you to Messi and Suarez for meeting my kids and their best friends. #ElClasico pic.twitter.com/9PqPQoR6Vb

Suarez also posted a picture with Woods…

If you’re not brushed up on your Spanish (I had to look up which language they speak in Uruguay), this translates to “Finishing the tour with a victory and a great photo with a great idol!!!!!!!!!”
It’s not the Tiger update we wanted. But it’ll keep us going for a bit…
Who will be McIlroy’s next caddie?
I hear you need a new caddie, Rory – come and get me
Why McIlroy is right to change his caddie
Matthew Beedle
Matthew has been playing golf since he was around 13 and took up the game at a local nine-hole municipal course with his friends before joining Pontefract & District Golf Club just over the hedge.
Still a member of Pontefract with a handicap of 3, he currently sits on the board of directors to help with digital and marketing initiatives in order to improve membership and visitor income.
Matthew graduated university with a First Class in Sports Journalism from Leeds Trinity University and has been working in the golf industry since graduating.
NCG’s social media & marketing manager, Matthew’s main job role is to increase website traffic to the National Club Golfer website via our email and social media channels as well as driving entries to grow our NCG Top 100s Tour events amongst other tasks.
Not one to change his equipment too often, Matthew currently plays the TaylorMade M2 driver which has lasted the test of time in his bag. Elsewhere, you’ll find him using the TaylorMade Stealth 2 three-wood with a Ping G425 Crossover 2-iron to aid his long game.
Through his 4-iron to Gap Wedge, Matthew uses the Ping i500 irons accompanied by Ping’s Glide 3.0 56-degree and 60-degree wedges.
Another club that has stood the test of time in his bag is a Nike Method Core MC-3i putter which has had to have the SuperStroke grip changed at least three times. Ball of choice is the Titleist ProV1.
