Perez on Tiger: 'He knows he can't beat anybody'

Pat Perez doesn’t think Tiger Woods will play again this season after injuring his back last month in Dubai.

During an interview earlier this week on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio, Perez, who has competed against Woods since junior golf, praised the former world No. 1 as “the needle” in golf but said that right now, “he knows he can’t beat anybody.”

“He knows it,” Perez said. “The guy shot 77 [in the first round in Dubai]. That guy can’t shoot 77. What does he do the next day? Ah, my back’s gone.
