Collin Morikawa says Tiger Woods comparisons pushed him too hard early.

Morikawa said early comparisons to Woods meant he was doing something right, but he cared about them too much and pushed himself when results dipped. He said a few bad tournaments made him feel he had to do more.

The comparison followed Morikawa's 2021 WGC-Workday Championship win at age 24, after his PGA Championship victory. He became the second player after Woods to win a major and a World Golf Championship before turning 25.
