Colin Mongomery wants Tiger Woods to face reality: “What is he doing?

Since the car accident in February 2021 cut his right leg, Tiger Woods did not look like the 82x winner of the 2019 Masters. 。 At 48, Wood looks old enough to be a former football and baseball player, but he’s still competing with an increasingly younger and more talented crop of stars.

Woods is expected to play in next week’s British Open at Royal Troon in relative health, marking his fifth start of the season, with his final two tournaments being the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. For Woods fans, this can be almost the same illness to observe how he fights, like the real discomfort he should feel in many parts of the body. Let’s consider Scottish Colin Mongomery, one of the former competitors of this group. Currently, Monty in 1961 has seen Tiger’s first maintenance at the peak of PGA tours, major, and rider cup events.

The 31 winners of the DP World Tour are currently looking at Woods, but I don’t understand why one of the growing ones is mediocre. “I hope people remember Tiger for the way he was, the passion and the aura of charisma that surrounded him,” Montgomerie said in a lengthy interview about his career in The Times of London. “That’s not the case now. At Pinehurst [at the US Open], he didn’t seem to like a single shot and you’re like, ‘What is he doing?’ He’s coming to Troon and he won’t like being there either.

It was after Woods shot 74-73 at Pinehurst in June that he was asked if he thought this week that this might be his last U.S. Open. Ultimately, the 15-time major winner received a special tournament exemption from the USGA. “Is that so or not?” Was Woods’s answer.

Montgomery believes he has the final answer. “Aren’t you there?” I thought it was over. “The time comes for all athletes to say goodbye, but saying goodbye to Tiger is very difficult,” he said. “Obviously he still feels he can win. We are more realistic. “”
