Tiger Woods makes a mistake at the Masters

Knicks iron man Josh Hart missed Game 6 due to injury.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — He still thinks he can win. Believe it at your own risk -or bet on it.

Tiger Woods is 48 years old and has more physical illness than his amazing championships in his amazing summary, and played this week in his 26th Masters in Augustanatures. He told him he thought he would get the sixth record green. Jacket. “If everything is gathering,” Woods, who has 15 main titles, said. “I think you can get another one.”

Then he added it with a smile: “Do I need to explain it more, or is it good?”

Former AX-AUGUSTA employees, including the Arnold Palmer Jacket, are said to have stolen their memories for the stolen master.

This remains the preferable reality of Woods. He is stuck at the stage of speaking with the religion that he can still get a large championship.

This is an actual reality. He is at the ritual golfik stage, at least public -even if he doesn’t know yet, he is not interested in a pleasant forest, at least public. Woods is Nolan Ryan who believes he can still strike out 20 guys at his retirement age of 46.

This is Larry Bird thinking he can still score 55 points per game at his retirement age of 35. He is Tom Brady, believing that he could still abandon 50 landing passes to his retirement at 44 years old.

The fact is that Woods is made up of the first stadiums of the fact that Arnold Palmer and Jack Niclaus finally became in each master-large-Grand at any time that golf fans will feel privileged, despite the fact that everyone knows that ‘He can no longer compete to defeat the ground Woods, whose world ranking has dropped to No. 959, has played only one tournament this year and missed two rounds, bowing out of the second round of the Genesis Invitational in February with the flu.

The last PGA Tour event in which Woods played all four rounds was the 2023 Genesis Invitational. The only tournament he played in full in 2023 was the Masters, but he had to withdraw after the second round due to illness.

Tiger Woods believes another Masters victory is in his sights. In December, during his tournament “Hero of the World”, Woods said that his goal was to play one event per month. Thus, after Genesis, it was supposed that he would play the players’ championship or Arnold Palmer Invitational in March in preparation for Masters this week. However, Woods did not play either.

“I wasn’t ready to play,” said Woods. “My body wasn’t ready. My game wasn’t ready. When I was at Hero, I thought once a month was a really good rhythm. That didn’t work. However, from now on, there will be a major championship every month until July, so I hope it will be held once a month.

It’s pure insanity to think that Woods could still compete at his age and physical condition while playing against Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and other stars in their primes. It’s a fantasy.

Woods is chasing two important records at this week’s Masters. If he is named the winner, it will be his 24th consecutive award, surpassing the record held by his close friends Fred Pulse and Bernhard Langer.

If he wins, he will tie Nicklaus for the most points in Masters history with six. Woods won his fifth Masters in 2019, but it seems like a long time ago considering what he’s had to physically deal with off the golf course over the past five years. The worst accident was a traffic accident in February 2021 that left him with near-fatal injuries.

Nicklaus had vowed for years that he would never be a ceremonial golfer, but that’s exactly what he ended up doing at Augusta, losing his ability to compete to win. Citing Nicklaus’ one-time reluctance, I asked Woods on Tuesday to reflect on his own demise as a participant, eventually transforming into a ceremonial golfer, and honoring his year as an honorary tee-shot participant. I asked him if he ever looked back on even attending the next ceremony.
