We are six days away from the golf world to which he descends Augusta National In what many consider the best week of the year.
but Master’s champion five times Tiger Woods It will not be in this year. On March 11, Woods announced that he had I underwent surgery to repair Achilles ruptureAn injury he suffered while working at home. Then Woods said that his doctors expect complete recovery and that his primary focus in the coming months will be on rehabilitation.
However, this last operation was the fourteenth surgery of the Woods profession. He went almost under the knife as much as he won the major championships. His body has affected over the years, especially during the past decade.
Why does he continue trying to play?
Espn’s andy North, which has been a long -term analyst for the network and will connect to a master’s degree next week, provided an impressive answer. He made these comments on the Championship Championship Championship call with correspondents.
“In the depths of my heart, he is one of the great competitors of all ages, but if he does not have any children, I do not know if he will play now. I think one of the reasons that make him work hard after the accident was that he gave him a great opportunity to spend a lot of time with Charlie and play the golf with his son, and watching Charlie is getting better.”
“He made a comment once that there are days, Charlie returns home from school and embarrassed him to go and play nine holes late in the afternoon with him. I think this is a very special thing.”
Given that Woods torn his Achilles, which usually takes nine to 12 months to recover from them, the Golf fans likely will not see the main winner 15 times until 2026-if they are lucky.
“Now we reach the point that this next qualification will be brutally difficult for him. He does not have to prove anything to anyone. He did everything he needs. If he will announce in the next month or two, you know what,“ I never play the competitive golf again. “I think this will be great, and no one will face a problem with it.”
“I think the opponent in it – as you know, always think you can rehabilitate. You always think you can return. You always think you can do it. But I have no magic answers there. I think he will try to play some events after this rehabilitation.
Espn colleague at Andy North, Cortis String, who won We are open In the successive years in Brooklyn and Oak Hill In 1988 and 1989, he repeated this feeling. But Strange also indicated how just Woods is in property – regardless of whether he is playing – will prove that he is invaluable for future generations.
“I want to see him in Augusta for a long time in the future,” String said.
“I think we need these people, and to be around the younger generation, to answer the questions – the players learn to role models, how to play golf stadiums. Be part of the Great State Association.
“I hope he will return to the place where he can play. We don’t even know that he can play again. He is going badly. But especially here, where he can return and be comfortable and be present only. People cannot get enough of him. We cannot get enough of him.
