He’s a legend in his own time, and very time he appears, golf crowds go wild- watching him.
But, following his high-speed SUV crash on February 23 of this year into a tree, at 87 miles per hour in California, will Tiger Woods ever play golf again?
Woods made his comeback as a champion in 2019 when he won the Masters. At the time, it had been 3,950 days since his last major win. Many fans had given up on the former world number one ever winning again.
Over the last decade, Woods has had much against him. Recall the car accident that occurred after his Swedish wife, Elin, chased him out of their driveway with a 9-iron after discovering his involvement in an illicit, extramarital affair. Later, they divorced. Weeks following, seven more women came forth in the media, admitting to affairs with Woods. Afterward Woods voluntarily entered sex rehab in Mississippi.
Then, there were Woods’ ongoing bodily injuries: He had his back fused and his knee redone. He went to drug rehab and maybe drunk camp. Tiger took it in all in stride while he strived for redemption, and seemingly got his life back on track, coming back to win his 15th major championship title at the 2019 Masters.
After such a devastating accident, will Tiger ever play again? He certainly has the support of the millions of fans and the Augusta golfing community who even added his name onto the course record at the 17th hole water fountain. We are all pulling for Tiger’s comeback.
