Surprise Tiger Woods admission made by Jack Nicklaus ahead of US Open – ‘He might’

By
Tiger Woods

Jack Nicklaus believes his fellow golfing notable Tiger Woods can win extra majors following his epic return to the PGA tour over the last two months. Woods made a super comeback on the Masters in April, 14 months after suffering excessive accidents in a automobile crash.

Following an appearance at Augusta, Woods then followed up with a showing at the second major of the campaign in May at the PGA Championship, but was forced to withdraw after three rounds after the effects of his injuries clearly began to take toll. His withdrawal led to many speculating that Woods’ time on the circuit could well be up, with the golfing great struggling out on the course.

His fellow great Nicklaus, though, believes the PGA Tour has not seen the end of Woods, who he believes can still become major champion again on more than one occasion. Nicklaus is the man who has won the most major titles in the sport’s history, having a record 18 to his name.

Woods is just behind on 15, however the 82-year-old believes the American can still reach his milestone with another three wins despite his fitness issues. When asked if Tiger could catch his record 18 wins, Nicklaus – who was speaking at this week’ Memorial Tournament – said: “I still think he might. I would never count him out, incidentally, of anything.”

Woods reiterated after his Augusta return that the rest of his playing career would only be a part-time one, following the effects of the 2021 accident. After appearing in the first two majors, the 82-time PGA Tour winner has also booked in to play at the remaining two – the US Open in June, and the Open Championship in July.

Whilst the 46-year-old only booked in his US Open outing over the last few weeks, his return to St Andrews and the Open Championship is one he has had nailed down for some time. Speaking at Augusta – prior to his PGA Championship withdrawal – he confirmed he ‘will be there’ at the famous Old Course, in what he described as his ‘favourite golf course in the world’.

Tiger-Woods

He told Sky Sports: “I am looking forward to St Andrews. That is something that is near and dear to my heart, and I’ve won two Opens there. It’s the Home of Golf and it’s my favourite golf course in the world, so I will be there for that one, but anything in between that, I don’t know.”

It remains unsure as to whether Woods’ concrete plans have since been affected by his issues at Southern Hills, and whether he might be required to miss the US-based major in order to prioritise his St. Andrews plans. The US Open will of course come first at The Country Club on June 16, with the Open Championship heading to St Andrews one month later on July 14.

Paul McGinley is worried about Tiger Woods

By
Tiger Woods

At some stage in an interview with golfing Channel, after Tiger Woods retired from Southern Hills, the crew Europe chief Paul McGinley shared his thoughts on the Tiger. As we understand, Tiger retired from the PGA Championship after passing the cut (which a number of the top gamers have didn’t do…).

Surely it was not the 79 photographs with which he closed the third lap that caused him to speak to the PGA of the us that he would be retiring. The bad weather conditions and, notably, the worry for his bodily condition in all likelihood led him to desert a chief for the first time in his career.

Paul McGinley, statements
“All we can do is wish him well,” said McGinley “We would like to see him come back, we want to see him come back” “He’s a proud player, he doesn’t want to go back to playing just to be a ceremonial player” “We don’t want to see it that way either” “I experienced a similar thing with Seve, seeing him become, in a way, a ceremonial player on the European Tour in his last four or five years” “It wasn’t a good experience” “We don’t want to see the same thing with Tiger, but fortunately the rehabilitation techniques improve every day, and the paths will also become kinder to him”

Since childhood Paul McGinley played Gaelic football, but after a knee injury, which occurred when he was 18, he devoted himself only to golf. In 1989 came the first success at the Irish Amateur Close Championship; two years later he won the South of Ireland Championship and was selected to participate in the Walker Cup, where Phil Mickelson’s United States beat the British-Irish side 14-10.

At the end of the year he turned pro and the following season took part in the European Tour. He came close to winning the 1993 French Open, when he lost the play-off to Costantino Rocca, and the 1994 Open Mediterrania, where he surrendered to José María Olazábal always at the play-off.

He took his first European Tour title in 1996, at the Hohe Brücke Open, now called the Austrian Open again. Together with Pádraig Harrington he won the World Cup with Ireland.

Tiger Woods on Making reduce at PGA Championship: assignment Is to Win This thing by some means

By

Tiger Woods made the cut Friday at the PGA Championship, though he kept it close, shooting a one-under 69 to move to three over for the tournament.

Woods was simply combating through pain thru the whole lot of the round, but he still has a intention in mind.

“there may be a undertaking,” he instructed ESPN’s Michael Eaves after the second spherical (h/t Jason Sobel of the action network). “The assignment is to move ahead and win this element one way or the other.”

Woods additionally informed Eaves he could not load up on his proper leg, similar to Thursday whilst the star golfer began to noticeably limp about halfway thru the round.

“There’s a lot of things [I can’t do],” he said. “That’s just the way it is. Luckily over the course of my career, I’ve used my hands quite well and gotta rely on feel and hit shots. When you’re out there, you know, it’s about hitting the ball the right number and getting it done. It wasn’t exactly the way I wanted it to be, it wasn’t pretty.”

It was similar to what he said after the first round.

“I just can’t load it,” he told reporters. “Loading hurts, pressing off it hurts, walking hurts and twisting hurts. It’s just golf. I don’t play that, if I don’t do that, then I’m all right.”

Unlike Thursday, however—when Woods shot a four-over 74 and had five bogeys and just one birdie on the back nine—the veteran golfer fought through the pain to shoot under par Friday.

Even Rory McIlroy was impressed by his resolve:

Tiger Woods

As for Woods winning in Tulsa, well, that’s a long shot. He would have to make up a double-digit stroke deficit to catch current leader Will Zalatoris, which seems unlikely given Woods’ physical limitations.

But the fight is still there. That’s plenty impressive enough.

Tiger Woods struggles at PGA Championship: ‘Walking hurts and twisting hurts … It’s just golf’

By

Tiger Woods finished the day in a tie for 91st region.

At the ninth hollow of the primary round, Tiger Woods slammed his golfing club into the floor in frustration.

Afterward, he walked up to the inexperienced with a more mentioned limp than were seen earlier inside the day and sooner or later completed the hollow with a bogey, kicking off a run of three consecutive bogeys.
As he maintains his comeback from critical leg accidents sustained in a vehicle accident ultimate 12 months, Woods struggled within the establishing round of the PGA Championship carding a 74, 9 strokes behind in a single day chief Rory McIlroy.

“My leg is not feeling as good as I would like it to be,” Woods told the media afterwards.

The PGA Championship marks Woods’ second major tournament since his injury after he made a surprise appearance at The Masters last month.
“We’ll start the recovery process and get after it tomorrow. I just can’t load it. Loading hurts, pressing off it hurts, walking hurts and twisting hurts. It’s just golf. If I don’t play that, then I’m all right.”
Woods’ round began brightly with two birdies and three pars in the opening five holes before his leg began to trouble him and he limped to 4-over par at the end of the day.
In his last 13 holes, he only hit three greens, made six bogeys and consistently misjudged his bunker shots.

“All the bunker shots sort of came out hot,” Woods said. “The sand is a lot faster than I thought it would be.”
“Kind of been that way all week, especially if you get up in the areas where it’s not raked… I feel like sometimes the sand — I’m guessing, and I guessed wrong.”

Woods hit a total of three birdies, eight pars and seven bogeys in his opening round.
Woods seemed to arrive at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa with a relatively conservative strategy, choosing to iron off the tee while the other players in his star-studded group — McIlroy and Jordan Speith — hit with drivers.
While McIlroy averaged 331 yards off the tee, Woods averaged just 293.4 yards — the 136th shortest distance in a field of 156.
“The game is just different,” Woods said. “It’s much more aggressive now, and I know that. But I was playing to my spots. If I would have hit the ball solidly on those two holes and put the ball in the fairway, I would have been fine.”
Woods tees off for the second round at 2:36 p.m. ET on Friday.

A fact that has occurred this afternoon when the private plane of the 15 times Major champion, four of them in this US PGA. This will be the twenty-first time that the Californian takes part in this event in which he has, in addition to those four victories, five other Top 10, three of them runner-ups.

It is Tiger’s second participation in 2022.
The 104th edition of the PGA Championship will be played once again at the Southern Hills course located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and several stories surround the second major of 2022. Some refer to the championship and its participants, others have more to do with the conflict between the PGA Tour and the new league financed by Arab capital.

How Tiger arrives at the tournament
If you are wondering how Tiger arrives at the PGA Championship, the answer is that we don’t know much. His comeback in the “Masters week” was better than many predicted and a month later his leg should be a little better.

Southern Hills is a course with level changes where his leg will again be put to the test, but nothing as demanding as Augusta. A course that tests all aspects of the game, it is perhaps one of the most underrated courses by the general public. Tiger Woods will be the main attraction at the PGA Championship, but there is another gentleman who will also attract the public’s attention.

Tiger, for many the greatest golfer in history and winner of 15 Majors, came to Augusta with a 14-month inactivity due to a serious car accident suffered in Los Angeles in February 2021. He finished the first round in the top ten but then fell down the leaderboard.
