Woods was forced to withdraw from The Masters before the final day due to severe pain and limping. Before the Masters Woods said, โMobility, itโs not where I would like it, but Iโm very lucky to have this leg,โ.

After Masters Woods stated, โIt has been tough and will always be tough. The ability and endurance of what my leg will do going forward will never be the same. Thatโs why I canโt prepare and play as many tournaments as I like. But thatโs my future and Iโm OK with that.โ
The Australian golfer expressed his disappointment over Woodsโ withdrawal from The Masters and acknowledged the difficulty of watching him hobble around the course in pain. Woodsโ leg is now more metal than flesh and bone due to his surgeries, and he has admitted that his mobility is not where he would like it to be.

The toll of golf on athletesโ bodies

The injuries sustained by Tiger Woods and the toll they have taken on his body bring to light the physical demands of golf. While golf may not be as physically intense as other sports such as football or basketball, the repetitive swinging motion and long hours of walking can still result in significant wear and tear on the body. Many professional golfers have struggled with injuries, and some have been forced to retire early due to the physical toll of the sport.
In recent years, there has been a growing focus on the importance of physical fitness in golf. Players are now more likely to have a team of trainers and physiotherapists to help them stay in the top physical condition and prevent injuries. However, injuries are still a common occurrence, and even the fittest and most dedicated athletes can suffer from them.
Jason Dayโs recent comments about Tiger Woodsโ injuries provide a glimpse into the physical toll that golf can take on athletes. Despite the challenges, Woods remains determined to continue playing the sport he loves. As fans, we can only hope that he is able to manage his injuries and continue to compete at the highest level. Itโs a reminder that even seemingly gentle sports can take a toll on the body and the importance of taking care of oneself as an athlete.
