Tiger Woods praises Bryson DeChambeau, has modest comparison for Collin Morikawa

As Tiger Woods hopped in the NBC broadcast booth at the Hero World Challenge, he praised two of golf's biggest names that are galvanizing the sport as he once did.

With Bryson DeChambeau one of the sport's more polarizing figures, Woods has taken interest in his speed drills and scientific approach to the game and believes DeChambeau is growing golf with his long drive abilities while doing things that have never been done before.

"Like I told [DeChambeau] personally, what he's doing is historic," Woods said. "Long drive players aren't players on Tour. Back when I was younger, I was the second-longest driver to John Daly, but neither one of us could have competed against the long drive guys.
