Tiger Woods tees off
All of the above is fine, but if you’re a golf fan there’s only one story in town today – and that’s Tiger Woods’ return to the US Masters. In Woods’ life, he’s taken a lot from column A, like his comeback from injury to win The Masters in 2019 after going 11 years without a major win. And in column B, there have been deep lows – particularly in his personal life. And then there was last year’s car accident that left him almost having his right leg amputated, just as he was recovering from major back surgery. To be back on the course swinging a club a year on from that is quite a story – but to be back competing for the sport’s most prestigious title at Augusta National in Georgia is amazing. How the 46yo holds up could be another thing… Woods’ swing is fine, he says, it’s all the walking that could be a problem. “This is not an easy walk to begin with. Now, given the condition that my leg is in, it gets a little more difficult.” Whatever happens, he’ll have plenty cheering him on.
