Tiger backs Beckham

David Beckham's quest for super-stardom in the United States has drawn support from current top draw Tiger Woods.

David Beckham's quest for super-stardom in the United States has drawn support from current top draw Tiger Woods.

The wealthiest and best recognised sportsman in the world said the former England skipper knows what he is doing in moving from Spanish powerhouses Real Madrid to the footballing backwaters of the LA Galaxy.

"I think in Los Angeles, we've lost basically two football teams, the Rams and the Raiders moved out. Now we're looking for something else and I think with David's star power there, I think it will bring another notch and another thing for all of us in southern California to come out and watch and observe," he said.

Woods said star quality or not, he would not be changing his schedule to follow Beckham's progress. - Sapa-AFP
