Ex-Ryder Cup captain believes “it is time for Tiger Woods to go”, calls for 15-time Major winner to retire
Tiger Woods has only played in three PGA Tour events this season, all majors. His other tournament was the Genesis Invitational, but he withdrew midway through. Since his car accident in 2021 and subsequent injuries that followed, Tiger Woods was struggling to compete. In addition to this, Woods also underwent surgery and rehabilitation for the plantar fascia after the masters of 2023, which forced him to take the whole season. 2010 Ryder Cup captain and 31-time European Tour winner Colin Montgomerie recently spoke about Woods’ future. According to Montgomery, the time has come for Woods to call it a day. He said that the reality of the situation would be very different, even if Woods had the hope that he would have competitiveness in the future. This is what Montgomery said: (via golf magic)
\ “There are times when all athletes say goodbye, but it’s very difficult to say that it’s time to leave Tiger. Obviously, he always feels that he can win. We are more realistic. \ “
Montgomery added that now the obvious forest does not appreciate a game that is not a good sign. He hoped people would remember Woods for the player he was rather than who he currently is.
\”I hope people remember Tiger as Tiger was, the passion and the charismatic aura that surrounded him. That’s not the case now. At Pinehurst, he doesn’t seem to like a single shot and it makes you wonder, “What on earth is he doing?” He would come to Trown, and he didn’t like it. “
Tiger Woods refuses the 2025 cup captain despite the fact that he likes to play a role
Tiger Woods was one of the best favorite people who became the US team of the 2025 rider cup. However, just days before the announcement, Woods rejected the position, and Keegan Bradley ultimately took over the reins of the team. Breaking his silence, Woods revealed that his decision to resign as captain was due to his off-field commitments. Woods was an integral part of negotiations for the PGA Tour and PIF, as well as the TGL League. When I spoke on golf.com, Woods said:
“With my new features and temporary duty on the tour, I couldn’t spend the American team’s time, and I thought the players would ask them as captains. It doesn’t mean. If/when I think the time is right, I will throw myself into the ring for this committee to make a decision.
