Having played with top three Indian golfers, world No 1 Tiger Woods is impressed that the sport has made dramatic progress in the country.Said Woods: “I think it (the sport) has progressed dramatically. It was nice to see how well they have played and just the quality of play. I think it’s fantastic that they are playing that well and all are playing well at the same time. So it’s fantastic for all of Indian golf.”Woods has a fairly good friendship with Arjun Atwal, who plays on the US PGA Tour. They are both members of the same golf club at Orlando.The American had some words of praise for ace Indian Jeev Milkha Singh, with whom he played the first two rounds of the HSBC Champions at Shanghai last season.At the same event, Jyoti Randhawa led for a brief period and played the third round with Woods. Before he met Atwal, Woods knew little about Indian golf. He struck a decent relationship with him and got to hear about some names making a mark at the top level.But, Jeev’s back-to-back wins in Japan late last season arrested everyone’s attention, including that of Woods, who wished the Indian and hoped to see him on the US Tour.
