Even Tiger Woods, golf's miracle man, is losing his latest injury battle
Sheer “stubbornness”. It’s what has got Tiger Woods through lots of adversity to this point in his golf career and will be why he’ll be determined to bow out of the sport when he decides rather than being guided by others. But one of his strengths is now a weakness.
Make no mistake, it was a very sad sight indeed to see a clip of the 15-time major winner hirpling badly on the 17th hole at Augusta National on Saturday afternoon in the third round of the 87th Masters.
To the surprise of no-one, he subsequently withdrew before the penultimate circuit restarted early on Sunday morning, saying he was “disappointed” but that it had been due to
“reaggravating my plantar fasciitis”.
