Sam Torrance claims that Tiger Woods no longer strikes fear into the hearts of other players.

Former Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance believes that Tiger Woods has lost the "fear factor" that he once struck into other players.

Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, which has led many to believe that the former world number one is now back to his best.

Torrance said that the 14-time Major champion's return to winning ways is a good thing for golf but he does not believe he will dominate as he once did.

"I want to see him back winning majors, it's much more exciting when he's playing and playing well," Torrance told Sky Sports News. "There's no question about that, just because of who he is and what he's done.

"But I don't think he has the fear factor anymore, I don't think the players are as scared of him as they were ten years ago."

Woods's win at Bay Hill was his first PGA Tour triumph in 30 months.
