Tiger Woods has been told he’s living in a false reality and is already in a position he desperately wanted to avoid.
Tiger Woods , at age 48 and with more physical ailments than major championships on his stunning resume, is playing in his 26th Masters this week at Augusta National — and Tuesday said he still believes he has it in him to win a record-tying sixth green jacket.
This is the actual reality: Though he has no interest in entertaining the thought — at least publicly — Woods is well into the phase of ceremonial golfer, even if he doesn’t know it yet.He’s Wayne Gretzky believing he can still score 60 goals at his retirement age of 38.He’s Tom Brady believing he can still throw 50 touchdown passes at his retirement age of 44.
In December at his tournament, the Hero World Challenge, Woods stated his goal is to play one event a month. So, it was presumed after the Genesis that he’d play either the Players Championship or the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March in preparation for this week’s Masters.“I wasn’t ready to play,’’ Woods said. “My body wasn’t ready. My game wasn’t ready. I thought that when I was at Hero, once a month would be a really nice rhythm. Hasn’t worked out that way.
A win would tie Nicklaus for the most in Masters history at six. Woods won his fifth Masters in 2019, which feels like an eternity ago considering what he’s dealt with physically off the golf course in that five-year span, the worst of which was the near-fatal car crash in February 2021.
