Tiger Woods won’t be present at this year’s The Open Championship. The prestigious tournament that attracts the attention of fans all over the world will be held this year without the biggest golf star, Tiger Woods. After the surgery he had a few months ago, Tiger Woods will probably be sidelined at least until the beginning of next year.
Golf fans are asking the question: Is this the end of his golden era, or will we see the legendary golfer again in the majors?
With his performances, Tiger Woods opened a new chapter in the history of the sport and became the reason why many people picked up a club and fell in love with golf.
Having won 15 majors as well as many PGA Tournaments, Tiger remained inscribed in golden letters in the history of this sport.
In recent years, Tiger was forced to miss important tournaments, mostly due to injuries and rehabilitation.
The absence from the Majors is causing various questions from the public, most of which concern his future.
While some believe that Tiger Woods will return to golf courses in the coming years, some are not optimistic that we will see the great of this sport again at major competitions.
Back surgery
The famous golfer had back surgery in September of this year. Not long after, the 49-year-old stated via social media that the surgery was successful, hoping for a speedy recovery and return to golf courses.
Although he has been retired for a long time, Woods does not stop to attract the attention of the public, who are impatiently waiting for his return.
“The surgery went smoothly, and I’m hopeful this will help alleviate the back spasms and pain I was experiencing throughout most of the 2024 season,” Woods said in a statement posted to his X account. “I look forward to tackling this rehab and preparing myself to get back to normal life activities, including golf.”
There is no doubt that his return would mean a lot to everyone. His presence at major tournaments has always attracted significantly more attention from fans of this sport, even those who have never had any contact with golf.
