Tiger Woods confirms career plans after tough showing at the Masters
Tiger Woods, making only his second appearance of the season, graced the Masters this week, signaling a return to form for the legendary golfer. Despite facing fitness setbacks, Woods managed to secure his 24th consecutive Masters cut, a remarkable achievement in itself. However, the weekend proved challenging, as he endured a rough Saturday, recording the worst round of his major career with a 10-over-par 82. Sunday didn’t fare much better, with Woods finishing at 16-over and landing in the last spot on the leaderboard.
Yet, amidst the struggles, Woods remained optimistic, setting his sights on the upcoming major championships. Confirming his intention to participate in all four majors of 2024, he expressed determination to prepare rigorously for the challenges ahead. With the PGA Championship at Valhalla looming next month, Woods emphasized the importance of staying focused on his fitness regimen and practice sessions to enhance his performance.
Reflecting on his Masters experience, Woods acknowledged the positives of his comeback, despite falling short of his desired outcome. He recognized the significance of competing at Augusta after a prolonged absence from full tournament play, highlighting the resilience displayed throughout the event.
Looking ahead, Woods gears up for the PGA Championship at Valhalla on May 16, followed by the U.S. Open at Pinehurst in June and the Open Championship at Royal Troon in July. As he embarks on this ambitious journey, Woods remains steadfast in his commitment to pushing himself physically and mentally, striving for excellence on the golf course.
