One of the world’s golf greats, Tiger Woods has gone ahead to talk about how he has been doing with regard to his recovery. In reality, Woods confessed that there was a long way to him before he felt ready enough to compete at full capacity once again on the PGA Tour. The golfer who has had a run with injuries over the last years was seen to be on a rehabilitation path after experiencing severe injuries in a car crash incident in 2021.
While Woods has, of course, flashed signs of his iconic form with regular appearances on the golf course-most recently his stirring comeback at the 2022 Masters-this 15-time major champion is cautious about his return to full form. In his last interview, Woods said what he is going through is tougher than he expected.
Ever since he had the car crash back in February 2021 and damaged his right leg with what has turned out to be multiple surgeries, Woods’ recovery journey has been on the long side. Appearing at the 2022 Masters and making the cut, then playing through some pain, was a true testament to his resilience and determination but also a high cost of his injuries for his body.
Now, nearly three years after the accident, Woods concedes he is far from being ready physically for the demands of the PGA Tour. Although Woods is optimistic about playing in limited events, he does not have illusions about the fitness level needed to compete at the highest level.
The 47-year-old golfer is taking it one step at a time. He continues to work with a team of medical professionals and trainers to strengthen his leg, improve his mobility, and regain the stamina necessary for the intense physicality of tournament play. In addition, Woods has also been participating in limited events, focusing on maximizing health and recovery rather than a quick return.
Though still plagued by severe physical challenges, Woods keeps hope alive regarding his prospects in golf. He made it plain that he might never return fully to the competitive schedule associated with his earlier days but insists on playing. Woods announced his interest in competing, especially in selected major competitions, such as The Masters; he has won there profusely and in several other events where he may be able to manage how much his body can perform.
Woods’ strategy now seems to be longevity in the sport rather than playing in all tournaments. The golfing world is eagerly waiting for his eventual return, and many hope that the legend will again be able to show his skills, but this time in a more selective manner. For now, Woods continues to take it slow, knowing that his legacy is already cemented, and his health remains the most important priority.
