Fred Couples accepts he probably won't see Tige rWoods "for a few months," but believes Tiger is where he needs to be to receive help.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Freddie Couples is a longtime friend of Tiger Woods. The two former Masters champions very often would partner for practice rounds the week of the season's first major.
Couples accepts he probably won't see Woods "for a few months," but he believes Woods is where he needs to be to receive help after saying he is seeking treatment and prioritizing his well-being. "If he's in Switzerland, he must be at a spot that's going to help him and that's the key thing," Couples, 66, said after playing an practice round ahead of the Masters on Monday, April 6, with Vijay Singh and Jake Knapp. "It's a very interesting subject for me," Couples said about his relationship with Woods.
"People always ask me about Tiger. When I text him, I always ask about his kids and how he's feeling. I don't ask him about his golf game.
I don't ask him about Sunday Red. I don't ask him about anything. "He always replies and I think he likes that.
