Woods impressed by Barack Obama (AFP)

DUBAI (AFP) - Tiger Woods says he has been impressed with Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama and believes he is an inspiration to many in the United States.

Asked for his views on the senator from Illinois, who like himself has an African-American father, ahead of the Dubai Desert Classic, Woods replied: "Ive seen him speak. Hes extremely articulate, very thoughtful.

"Im just impressed at how well, basically all politicians really do, how well they think on their feet. Especially those debates. Its pretty phenomenal to see them get their point across.

"But I just think that hes really inspired a bunch of people in our country and well see what happens down the road."
