Lee Westwood, who was officially confirmed as the new World No 1 yesterday ending Tiger Woods' five-year long reign, insisted any talk of Woods as a waning force was wrong.
"I've learnt never to write Tiger off," Westwood, the first European golfer to head the rankings since compatriot Nick Faldo in 1994, told the BBC.
Woods' life was thrown into turmoil by revelations of an affair that led to the collapse of his marriage and a five-month break from the game he'd dominated.
Westwood added: "It looked at the Ryder Cup like there were green shoots of recovery in his game.
"I've seen him play at his best and I've seen him play with a broken leg when he won the US Open a couple of years ago."
