He grimaced on a few swings over the weekend, even grimaced here or there when bending over to pick up his tee. Woods made his way around with a pronounced limp. He needed to ride a cart at the PNC, and he dearly missed walking side by side with his son Charlie like he did last year.
Of course, the condition of Woods’s leg makes it more complicated than that. Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship at 50 and, you know, Tiger has always been clearly better than Phil. Tiger Woods after his shot on the 16th hole of the PNC Championship Sunday. On cue, Woods would win next time around at Augusta National. Open cut at Shinnecock that year, I wrote that he would still win another major, in part, because (with the possible exception of Jack Nicklaus) he was better than all the many players who had won majors in their 40s. Win a major championship for the 16th time? Yeah, and I think the moment will make his epic comeback victory at the 2019 Masters feel like a first-place finish in a local member-guest.Īfter Woods returned from spinal fusion surgery in 2018, he called himself “a walking miracle.” When he missed the U.S. Win on the PGA Tour for the 83rd time and break his tie with Sam Snead for the all-time record? Yeah, I think that’s going to happen. This was Tiger Woods and his young son Charlie finishing second in a silly-season golf event 10 months after Woods could have died while crashing his own SUV.īut if you broke away from yet another miserable Jets and Giants Sunday on CBS and Fox and found a sanctuary in the form of the PNC Championship on NBC, you likely came away with a couple of right-minded observations:ġ) It was surreal seeing Woods dressed to kill in red, launching a 350-yard drive and lashing dead-eye irons after saying this of his mangled right leg: “I’m happy it’s still attached.”Ģ) Tiger Woods will win another golf tournament. Open 16 months after he was nearly killed by a Greyhound bus.
No, this was not Ben Hogan winning the U.S.
