Having watched the coverage of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Tiger Woods reported a sleepless flight to the Open Championship.
On Saturday, the golfer who is 48 years old started his journey from Florida to Scotland where he was going to participate in this week’s major event. However, on Sunday during his first practice round at Royal Troon, he felt tired because he had been keeping a close eye on updates related to the former president’s rally that took place in Pennsylvania.
“All we watched during the journey was news coverage of the assassination attempt. I couldn’t get any sleep on the flight and as soon as we arrived, we headed straight to play golf.”
After his impressive comeback win at the Masters, Woods received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump in 2019. This came shortly after a shooting incident that left one rally attendee dead and two others severely injured, including Trump himself. Throughout his illustrious career, Woods has won major championships fifteen times over.
Over the years, Trump and Woods have played several rounds of golf together as both share a strong passion for the sport. When questioned about their rumored camaraderie with President Trump in 2018, Woods simply acknowledged his position as the head of state by stating “Well, he’s the president of the United States.”
According to Yahoo Sports, he stated that we must respect the office regardless of whether we like or dislike the person’s personality or politics.
On Thursday, Woods began his pursuit of a fourth Open Championship win. He emerged victorious and claimed the Claret Jug in 2000, 2005 and 2006.
Although Woods has struggled with injuries and had only sporadic competitive appearances due to leg injuries sustained in a car crash during 2021, winning on his 23rd major appearance would be an impressive surprise.
The golfer who has won the PGA Tour 82 times faced a challenging major season, with a record of finishing at number 60 in the Masters and failing to make it past the cut for both the PGA Championship and US Open.
However, Woods is unyielding in his determination to compete for as long as he believes he has a chance of victory, disregarding the advice given by ex-world No. 2 Colin Montgomerie that retirement be considered.
Referring to his previous wins at the event, Woods informed reporters on Tuesday that he is exempt until he turns 60 and Colin isn’t.
Since he isn’t a former winner, he has no exemption and thus cannot make the decision. That choice falls to me.
