The 49-year-old veteran told the South China Morning Post in October he would be willing to do something like that again.
“I really enjoyed it,” he said. “I hope that Tiger and I will do more events like that in the future with partners because we didn’t have enough talking between us and I think that a partner will have more interaction. [The partners] could be other athletes, that would bring a certain element, too.”
