And so another Masters tournament has come and gone and South Africa’s wait for another Major title continues. And, is this the end of Tiger Woods? It was another enthralling tournament, won by the brilliant Jon Rahm, who was superb in tough conditions in a tournament hit by bad weather.
Well, Woods had an up-and-down time of it and withdrew a few holes into his third round after making the cut, citing plantar fasciitis as the reason.Before the tournament started Woods said he wasn’t sure if this year’s event would be his last, but I think if we are to see the world’s best ever golfer feature again at Augusta it’s going to be after more time off to sort out a plethora of issues.
Woods may well decide enough is enough, and that the time has come to accept his fate. The reality is he is fortunate to have played any golf at all after his car crash of a few years ago.
We may not all agree on what some players do and what decisions they take, and where they decide to play their golf, but all they want to do is play golf and be competitive. And it was great seeing all the best in the game playing together again.
