AUGUSTA, Ga. — Thursday morning, Tiger Woods defied belief. Saturday afternoon, reality caught up with him. Roughly 50 hours after he strode to the first tee at Augusta National riding a wave of cheers from a mass of patrons thousands strong, Woods played like what he is: a man still recovering from a catastrophic car wreck, a man with enough metal in his body to set off TSA sensors, a man who’s held together with duct tape and willpower. Woods shot 78 on the day, his worst performance… Source link

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The second round of the 2022 Masters won’t go down as one of Tiger Woods’ legendary performances. The record will show that he took 74 strokes to gingerly step his way around the course. He finished the day at +1 for the week, nine strokes behind leader Scottie Scheffler and out of contention in the minds of everyone but himself. That’s the thing about numbers, though. They don’t tell the full story. Scorecards come a bit closer. Woods’ was a ransom-note collage of… Source link

BetMGM (MGM) listed Woods as one of the sportsbooks’ biggest “liabilities” prior to the… Source link

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods has now started 358 tournaments on the PGA Tour and until this one — his most improbable one, the 2022 Masters — his definition of winning was simple: sit atop the leaderboard at the end of competition. Woods’ ferocious competitive instincts and obsession to win, perhaps bordering on unhealthy, has driven him across his career. There were no second places, no top-five finishes. There is victory. There is failure. Then came Thursday here at Augusta National… Source link

AUGUSTA, Ga. — At about 10:55 a.m. the crowd parted all on its own. No security told people to do it. No ropes were pulled out. Nothing was imminent. This was in front of the famed Augusta National clubhouse, under the sprawling live oaks that offer scenery and shade, some of the most exclusive ground in this exclusive country club. Tiger Woods was coming. He wasn’t there yet, but he was coming. Everyone knew that. He was set to tee off at 11:04 which meant he would be emerging from the… Source link

Tiger Woods is still weighing whether to attempt one of the most remarkable comebacks in sports history. Less than 14 months after a catastrophic February 2021 car wreck that nearly cost him his leg, Woods continues to consider whether to play the Masters this week. Woods spent time last week walking the steep hills of Augusta National and performed well enough to warrant keeping the door open. “I will be heading up to Augusta today to continue my preparation and practice. It will be a… Source link

A red-and-black-clad Woods tore up the course at the PNC Championship Sunday … and it wasn’t Tiger. Twelve-year-old Charlie Woods officially stepped onto golf’s world stage Sunday afternoon.

Either way, right now he’s the talk of the sport, and justifiably so.   Tiger and Charlie fell to the duo of John Daly and son John Daly II, but the tournament came down to the final two… Source link

Tiger Woods is riding in a cart this week at the PNC Championship, which marks his first time back out on the course after his February car crash. Though this week is different — Woods is playing alongside his son, Charlie, in the modified 20-team, two-person event in Orlando — Woods insisted that he’d never request a golf cart to compete in an official PGA Tour event. “No, absolutely not. Not for a PGA Tour event, no,” Woods said Friday, . “That’s just not who I am. That’s not… Source link
