Crooked Stick GC, Carmel, IN …. Current World No. 1 Jason Day says Tiger Woods wont’ find winning easy after the former long-time best in the world announced he was hopeful of returning to competition in October.

Woods has been side-lined since sharing 10th place 13 months ago in his first appearance at the Wyndham Championship.

Since then he’s believed to have undergone two operations on his troublesome back.

And while Day welcomed the news on the eve of this week’s BMW Championship, the Australian sounded some advice to those thinking Woods can simply pick up from where he left off.

Current World No. 1 Jason Day says Tiger Woods won’t find it so easy winning again on the PGA Tour as the long-time former top-ranked golfer indicates he could be returning to competition in October.

“The game has got so tight with how competitive it is and how hard it is to win,” said Day.

“I don’t think winning is going to come as easily as it was back in the past.  But if he’s willing to do the work, and willing to climb that mountain again and get back to where he was, there’s … I mean he’s done it two or three times before, so the possibility is endless for him.

“But once again, he’s in his 40s, I don’t know what the stats are with players how well they played in their 40s, but it’s moreso mentally when he’s got to choose when he’s going to be down upstairs more so than body and stuff, because everyone knows that he can play through pain.”
