![]() ![]() ![]() Hogan did, he did a pretty good job of it, and there's no reason that I can't do that and feel ready."Īnother white flag, but an encouraging one because it seems like Woods has reconciled his past with his future. But to ramp up for a few events a year as I alluded to yesterday as Mr. All that combined means that a full schedule and a full practice schedule and the recovery that it would take to do that, no, I don't have any desire to do that. I don't foresee this leg ever being what it used to be, hence, I'll never have the back what it used to be, and clock's ticking. I got that last major, and I ticked off two more events along the way. On accepting this new future: "It's very easy, given the fact that I was able to come back after the fusion surgery and do what I did. Tiger keeps waving the white flag, even if everyone refuses to accept it. I'll just have a different way of doing it, and that's okay and I'm at peace with that, I've made the climb enough times." I won't have the opportunity to practice given the condition of my leg and build up. I don't see that type of trend going forward for me. Even though I did not win, I closed pretty good at the PGA at Bellerive, and then 2019 I won the Masters. Then I proved to myself that I could take the lead in the British Open. Once I started building, I realized after Tampa that I could win. … So I came back here in 2017 and played in the Hero event … Then I started back in 2018 and started playing a little bit more and I started building. I just knew that once I came back from the spinal fusion surgery, I still had my hands. On his general future: "Well, I've made the climb up there a few times, and I've had a pretty good run in my career. Also, whenever Woods opens up about personal problems, it humanizes him and empowers others to do the same. First, there's been a pattern of driving incidents that deserves to be addressed. I do wish he would have addressed the accident for a few reasons. It's probably not surprising, but Woods wouldn't touch anything about his accident other than to say that he "refused to turn on the local channels and news" and that he "wasn't mentally ready for that road" when he was laying in a hospital bed. On what he remembers from the accident: "Yeah, all those answers have been answered in the investigation, so you can read about all that there in the post report." And then with this right leg … it's hard to explain how difficult it has been just to be immobile for the three months, just lay there and I was just looking forward to getting outside. ![]() Then you add the back, that's another level. The knee stuff that I had on my left knee, those operations were one thing, that's one level. On this recovery compared to others: "This one's been much more difficult. Here's a look at everything meaningful that he said. On Tuesday, he spoke for 45 minutes about his accident, his life and what a potential comeback could look like him over the next few years. Still, there were plenty else to address and numerous questions to ask the 15-time major winner. On Monday, a lengthy interview with Golf Digest dropped, leaving us with some interesting nuggets including an admission from Woods that he will never play a full schedule again and that he doesn't think he'll "have the body to climb Mount Everest, and that's OK." Since a horrific car wreck in late February left Woods in a hospital bed for several weeks and at home in a wheelchair for a long period of time after that, Woods has not released much information at all outside of minor updates assuring golf fans that he was progressing.Ī little over a week ago, we saw him swing a golf club for the first time since last December when he played in the PNC Championship with his son, Charlie. Tiger Woods spoke publicly for the first time in nearly a year while making an appearance at the 2021 Hero World Challenge on Tuesday. ![]()
