DUVAL CLARIFIES “RIVALRY” WITH TIGER WOODS

Tiger Woods’ former rival David Duval says he was one of the hall of famer’s closest friends during his early PGA Tour days.

Woods was on everyone’s radar long before he made his debut at the 1996 Greater Milwaukee Open when he was 20 years old.

The late 90s and early noughties coincided with Duval’s pomp, where he won 11 PGA Tour titles and the 2001 Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

During the early years of Woods’ career, the golfer claimed that Duval was one of the players he was ‘most concerned with’ in regards to battling for titles.

Woods, of course, had no reason to be worried as he essentially dominated the sport and bludgeoned all in his path for 13 years.

COMPETITION ROUND-UP

PGA TOUR

Chesson Hadley and Vince Whaley both made the cut at last weekend’s Black Desert Championship in Utah, tying for 64th and 67th, respectively. Both players, battling to get inside the top 125 in FedEx Cup points to remains fully exempt on the PGA Tour in 2025, were in contention through 36 holes, but fell back with scores in Saturday’s third round. Whaley sits at No. 125, Hadley at No. 142.

Both players are competing this week at the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas, where Matt Kuchar also is in the field, and Christo Lamprecht is playing on a sponsor exemption.
