Monty, who now plays on the Champions Tour in the USA, is working as a commentator for the Golf Channel at Augusta.

He is actually wearing the boot because he damaged ankle ligaments just after the settlement was reached.

He posted pictures of him wearing it on his Twitter account, saying he did it attempting a triple salchow while ice-skating!
