Tiger Woods Vows Redemption; Reasserts ‘One Event per Month’ Goal After Masters Tragedy
You can be confident that you’ll see Tiger Woods playing only one tournament per month from now on. After finishing at 60th place with a score of 5-over 77 in his hundredth Masters round, the renowned player shared his future plans: “I’m going to do my homework for Pinehurst, Valhalla and Troon since I knew this golf course coming into it.”
At the 2023 Hero World Challenge, it was confirmed that the 48-year-old had missed one event every month. After withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational, his first competition since then was The Masters. However, Woods is determined to alter this pattern and has already started planning out his schedule for upcoming months.
The golfing legend, who has won the Masters five times in the past, made a trip to Georgia for an early reconnaissance mission. He is said to have played practice rounds with both Justin Thomas and Fred Ridley. Tiger Woods intends on doing likewise before each of the next three major championships: “I heard that there are some modifications being made at all venues,” he responded when questioned about his intentions for these upcoming events.
This year, Augusta National implemented a few alterations such as moving the tee box on par 5, 2nd, ten yards to the left. Pinehurst No. 2 will have new grandstands and corporate boxes but no modifications were announced by USGA for its course this year. Valhalla is anticipated to be longer than its previous length of 7,458 yards in preparation for Woods’ PGA Championship win in 2000. Royal Troon mostly aimed at improving accessibility instead of adjusting their layout with their plan overhaul despite Woods achieving ninth place during his appearance there during Open Championship back in 2004 when it was still Par-71 measuring up to over seven thousand two hundred eight-yards long beforehand too!
Woods elaborated that the goal is to maintain a consistent workout routine, improve physical strength and endurance, and steadily make progress. He expressed hope for longer practice sessions in the future. Despite his disappointing 10-over 82 score during moving day at Augusta, Woods shared that he focused on the positive takeaways from his performance.
The Masters weekend was evaluated by Tiger Woods.
On Friday, Woods extended his streak of consecutive cuts made at the Masters to 24. Nonetheless, playing for ten hours and completing twenty-three holes had an impact on his performance in the following day’s tournament. On Saturday he recorded a score of 10-over par-82; this marked his third instance with such scores in Major tournaments. However, things picked up during Sunday’s final round play— especially after receiving only one bogey while saving seven pars over nine holes towards its end–but despite all that happened previously, Wood believes there isn’t any need to raise alarms presently regarding overall outlooks concerning golfing successes yet coming from him
“After a long break from playing full tournaments, I had to fight hard on Thursday and Friday. However, it was still an overall good week for me. Yesterday didn’t go as planned but today’s round seemed manageable with Tom’s playing style. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to perform as expected,” Woods stated during the final round.”
