Greg Norman: Tiger Woods doesn't intimidate younger golfers

Two-time Major champion Greg Norman has been sharing his thoughts on the decline in form of Tiger Woods.

Norman, who won The Open in 1986 and 1993, says 40-year-old Woods no longer intimidates younger golfers in the way he once did.

Woods, who is a 14-time major winner, said last month he intended to return to golf after a back injury to play the Safeway Open, the Turkish Airlines Open and the Hero World Challenge - which is hosted by his own foundation - in the Bahamas, but has now said his game is not ready.

"My health is good, and I feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to be," Woods said on his website.

"After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA Tour or compete in Turkey."
