So far, it doesn’t appear as if Tiger Woods and Rose Zhang know each other very well, though they obviously respect each other’s talents. Prior to her LGPA win, Zhang fielded questions during a press conference and revealed the scope of her relationship with Woods.” I’ve never had any explicit advice from him, but I would say his presence itself says a lot,” said Zhang (via ASAP Text). “He accomplished way more than any golfer in this generation, and I think him as a role model for the game of golf, what he did to modernize the entire sport, is truly amazing.” She continued, “So I never really had any conversations with him, but he did text Coach Walker here and there, oh, congrats to Rose. It just shows that I’m on the right track if he’s able to keep up tabs somewhat of what I’m doing.”

Of course, Zhang was ecstatic to eventually find out that Woods had supported her LGPA win via Twitter. “Tiger Woods? Oh, my gosh. That’s crazy,” Zhang said after learning of Woods’ supportive gesture (via Yahoo! Sports). “What can I say to that? I think the reaction itself says everything. It’s just so amazing that he’s even keeping up the tabs with me.” The publication also noted the similarities between Zhang’s and Woods’ college career streaks, although Zhang has already edged Woods’ out, winning one more Stanford University tournament than her golf idol.
