Pat Perez says Tiger Woods knows 'he can't beat anybody'

PGA Tour winner Pat Perez is not a man who holds back on sharing his thoughts. In fact, over the years Double P has been the guy willing to say what other people are thinking.

He did that again on Thursday at The Honda Classic.

Perez, who won the OHL Classic last November for his second PGA Tour win, unleashed on Tiger Woods and his future.

“He knows it,” Perez said this week on his SiriusXM show “Out of Bounds.” “The guy shot 77 [in the first round in Dubai]. That guy can’t shoot 77. What does he do the next day? Ah, my back’s gone. He knows he can’t beat anybody! I told you!

“He’s not going to come out and play, and play poorly. I said this how many months ago? He’s not going to do it for a long time.”

Perez was skeptical about Woods’ ambitious schedule to start the year, which included four planned starts in five weeks. Of a possible total of 16 rounds, Woods will have played three.

Perez also believes Woods signed lucrative equipment deals with Bridgestone and TaylorMade, perhaps well aware of his true limitations. He speculated that if Woods, who withdrew from the Dubai Desert Classic with back spasms after an opening 77, doesn’t play the Masters that it might signal the end of his career.

“Personally, I don’t think you’ll see him again this year. I think he’s out,” Perez said. “The only thing he’s going to care about is Augusta. … It’s not like he’s got his favorite major courses after Augusta. I’m telling you, I don’t think you’re going to see this guy again. The guy can’t show up to an interview. You think he thinks he can beat somebody? The guy can’t stand during an interview.”

Woods has not offered an update on his plans and future schedule.
