Tiger Woods is still dealing with health problems ahead of the Masters tournament. He was sidelined for a significant period due to an accident and surgeries in 2021 before returning to golf recently. Notah Begay III has expressed concerns about the 48-year-old golfer’s health just a week before the major championship.
The X handle of TWLEGION, which was previously known as Twitter, posted a tweet discussing the perspectives of an American expert on Woods. Begay mentioned that Woods had been trying to recover for a couple of months, wondering if he could finish all 72 holes and recover in between rounds.
The analyst stressed that the latter problem was the most important.
Furthermore, Begay noted that Woods was experiencing restricted movement in his left ankle and was dealing with existing lower back issues, as he had anticipated. The difficulties indicate major barriers for the renowned player.
In the interim, the 51-year-old discussed the approach being formulated by the 15-time major champion to address his shortcomings, stating, “He is working on devising a plan and strategy that he can adhere to while taking into account the obstacles he is encountering.”
However, he expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of this plan, mentioning, “I am uncertain, and he himself will only find out when he tests it out at the Masters tournament this year to determine if his efforts will yield positive results.”
The 82-time PGA Tour champ was recently spotted at Augusta National while scouting the golf course ahead of the first major of the year. This attempt to better prepare for the Masters Tournament, especially after his Genesis Invitational WD, sheds a hopeful light on the followers of the 48-year-old.
This is not the end of the story. Tiger Woods, a 5-time Masters champion, created more excitement by participating in the Seminole Pro-Member event.
It is worth noting that he chose not to use a cart during the tournament and ended up finishing T33. While his position on the leaderboard may not have been ideal, his decision to walk the course without a cart is a sign of optimism for his future performance.”
Even so, in the end, it is as Begay said, Woods will only be able to know whether his strategies work after he gets out there and figures it out himself. Regardless, many would surely be rooting for the legend of the greens to clinch his 16th major!
