Rick Shiels thinks Woods is a ‘superhero’ for his achievements in the game, which includes 15 major championship wins.

“Phil didn’t hit the ball as well as Vijay but his short game was off the charts. Vijay hit it better, put a lot of pressure on you, but his short game – his chipping was awesome but he didn’t putt as well as Phil did.

“Those guys kept putting themselves there and I loved it. I loved the challenge of it. Phil and I and Vijay went at it for the better part of 15 years and it’s been a lot of fun.”
