Tiger Woods told to walk away from golf after sinking…..

Tiger Woods, the legendary 15-time major champion, faced harsh criticism following his disappointing performance at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia. Despite initially showing flashes of his former brilliance during the first two rounds, Woods struggled over the weekend, ultimately finishing the tournament at 16-over-par, marking one of the lowest points in his storied career.

While Woods managed to make the 36-hole cut and even set a Masters record with his 24th cut at Augusta, his fortunes took a turn for the worse on Saturday. A disastrous round three saw him carding a 10-over-par 82, his worst ever round at a flagship event. Despite a valiant effort to bounce back on Sunday, Woods could only manage a final round score of five-over 77, leaving him in 60th place overall.

Woods’ struggles can be traced back to a series of career-threatening injuries sustained in a car crash in 2021. Since then, he has been forced to adopt a part-time playing schedule, making just eight starts in the past two years. His emotional farewell at the 2022 Open Championship at St Andrews, where he received a hero’s reception, led many to believe it was time for him to retire from professional golf.

Colin Montgomerie, a former rival of Woods, expressed his opinion that Woods should have retired after his symbolic moment at St Andrews. Montgomerie pointed out that Woods’ sporadic appearances on the tour are not sufficient for him to compete with the younger generation of golfers. Despite Woods’ intentions to continue playing, Montgomerie emphasized the importance of knowing when to gracefully exit the sport.

While Woods received a warm reception from fans at Augusta, with many speculating if it was a final goodbye, his commitment to playing in the remaining three majors of the year suggests he is not ready to hang up his clubs just yet. However, as Montgomerie and others have noted, there comes a time when every athlete must acknowledge their limitations and bid farewell to the sport they once dominated.
