JERSEY CITY, NJ (WTVB) – Tiger Woods admitted what many have suspected for some time – that he might never play competitive golf again. He’s serving as an assistant to captain Steve Stricker at this week’s Presidents Cup and made his first public comments since his fourth back surgery in April.
When asked whether there was a scenario in which he would never return to competitive golf, Woods said, “Yeah, definitely. I don’t know what my future holds for me. As I’ve told you guys, I’m hitting 60-yard shots.”
Last week, Woods said on his website that he had started hitting 60-yard shots but was not cleared to hit full shots because of the twisting that would be involved.
