GOAT Tiger Woods is back on the field at The Masters as he makes his start for the event amid uncertainty. Although the start of the tournament was not what he expected, Woods is satisfied that he is even able to walk and bend down to pick up the golf ball.
Following his horrifying car accident in February 2021, Woods has participated in fewer events, as he remained in “constant pain”. He even stated that he is unsure how many tournaments he will be able to participate in the future.
After Thursday’s slow start, players on the field have been looking forward to Friday’s game. Unfortunately, Augusta had to postpone the game to Saturday, as big trees fell on the greens. Fortunately, players and fans escaped unscathed. Woods stated that he’ll look for a strong start on Saturday morning.
Woods finished Thursday with a 2-over par after making 1 birdie over 14 holes and another 2 and a bogey on the 18th. However, Woods have been seen limping and grimacing on the greens in pain. He noted that his legs are “sore”.
“Well, I feel like I drove good. I just didn’t do the job I needed to do to get the ball close. Today was the opportune time to get the round under par, and I didn’t do that today.” He’s hoping for the situation to get better prior to his next start at The Masters.

Tiger Woods talked about his missed opportunity to make a strong debut at The Masters when the other players were seemingly adjusting to the event. His start on Thursday, marked his highest, since 2005. He spoke about how grateful he is to even be walking on the greens again.
“Most of the guys are going low today. This was the day to do it. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be a little bit better, a little bit sharper, and kind of inch my way through it. I mean, this is going to be an interesting finish to the tournament because of the weather coming in.”
“If I can just kind of hang in there, maybe kind of inch my way back, hopefully it’ll be positive towards the end.” For now, it seems, mobility is an issue for the 5-time Masters champion. During an interview with Los Angeles Times, Woods said, “Yeah, mobility, it’s not where I would like it but … I’m very lucky to have this leg; it’s mine“.
“Yes, it has been altered and there’s some hardware in there, but it’s still mine. It 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. I understand that.”
“That’s why I can’t prepare and play as many tournaments as I like, but that’s my future, and that’s OK. I’m OK with that.” He further admitted that “I didn’t give myself very good looks,” he said. “Need to do a better job of that going forward.”
