“I don’t really care what happened between Tiger and … whatever happened.I’m just glad he’s OK,” said Daly, who will play in the Australian Openstarting Thursday. “We need him, probably more than anybody on the tour, tokeep things going, the way the economy is.”
Woods had just pulled out of his driveway when he struck a fire hydrant andthen a tree, according to the Florida Highway Patrol accident report. Theworld’s No. 1 golfer later said he had cuts and bruises, and “right now I’m alittle sore.”
“Tiger’s the biggest asset the tour’s had in a long, long time,” Dalysaid. “Whatever happened, as long as he’s OK that’s all that matters. Golfneeds him badly … no doubt.”
Woods is scheduled to compete at his Chevron World Challenge, which startsThursday in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The tournament director did not know if Woodswould play or even attend.
