Tiger Woods has revealed that his 10-year-old daughter considers him to be the Lionel Messi of golf.
Woods has been plagued by injury in recent years but remains one of the sport's all-time greats, having won 14 major titles.
Put to him that he was the Messi of golf, Woods revealed: "That's what my daughter said.
"I said 'isn't it neat to be a living legend?' and she said 'yes, we live with one!'.
"I never thought my kids knew what I did with golf, they thought I was the YouTube golfer.
"They've never really seen me in action. Most of the stuff they've watched has been on highlight packages. They've never seen what I can do."
Thank you to Messi and Suarez for meeting my kids and their best friends. July 30, 2017
The conversation stemmed from Woods' recollection of a meeting between his son Charlie and members of the Barcelona squad in Miami earlier this year.
"That's his idol [Messi]," Woods said. "He plays FIFA all the time and is always Messi.
"It's pretty neat to see my kids in awe like that. I thought it was really neat to have them back in the locker room to meet [Luis] Suarez and a few other guys in the team.
"It was a really surreal moment to sit back and watch my kids really appreciate it."
