Tiger Woods Shows No Sign of Retirement
However, 48-year-old Woods kept a positive outlook on his time spent at the Masters despite following up a 10-over-par 82 on Saturday with a 5-over 77 on Sunday. Woods finished 16-over 304 for the tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. His previous high at a tournament was 302 at the Memorial in 2015, as per a Reuters report.
Sure, this one wasn’t one for the books, however the five-time Masters champion and 15-time major winner took a bigger-picture view of it all in Augusta. Two years ago, Woods made his return to competitive golf at the Masters less than 14 months after a single-car accident nearly cost him his right leg. He made the cut at Augusta National before finishing 47th.
“I think that coming here not having played a full tournament in a very long time, it was a good fight on Thursday and Friday — unfortunately (Saturday) didn’t quite turn out the way that I wanted it to,” Woods said.
Tiger Woods is Still the Golf’s Global Superstar
However, Woods still remains the centre of attraction. He wore his trademark red shirt for the final round of the Masters and drew packed crowds, but this was a Tiger Woods morning matinee show at Augusta with Sunday’s real blockbuster still hours away, as per an AFP report.Swarms of fans, so rarely seen at 9:35 am on the final day at Augusta — a full five hours before the leaders were due to tee off — were proof, if any were needed, that Woods remains golf’s top box-office draw.But his scorecard over the final two rounds of this year’s Masters told another story — the rather sad tale of a fading star, no longer capable of competing with the best over four rounds at the famous old course where he has won five titles, as per an AFP report.
Future Scenario for Tiger Woods
Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of Woods’ first appearance at the Masters, as an amateur in 1995 when he finished 41st. The following year, Woods returned to Augusta, as a rookie professional, and promptly won the tournament, launching his era of domination of the sport that has included five Masters wins.
Woods has 15 major titles, the most recent his astonishing comeback win at the Masters in 2019 — his first major triumph in 11 years and one that offered the tantalizing promise of a glorious late career revival despite the wear and tear on his body.
But it is now abundantly clear that the car crash he suffered in 2021 and the serious injuries he received have made such a return remote, AFP reported.
