Tiger Woods turned in two lackluster rounds at the British Open, but his competitive fire burns too hot to let them be his last, Rosenberg_Mike writes
He does not have the game he once did. He just can’t practice enough. He can’t hone his skills under tournament pressure. What he does have, though, is an inner peace that seemed out of reach when he was a young man conquering the world.

The R&A has only announced Open sites through 2025, but Woods and Jon Rahm both floated 2030 as the likely date of the next Open at St. Andrews. Rahm said he thinks that’s too far away for Woods – the kind of open questioning of Tiger that he used to punish. But Rahm is right. Woods said it himself: “I don't know if I'll be physically able to play another British Open here at St. Andrews.
