Tiger Woods sightings are rare these days, so video of him holding a club naturally takes social media by storm. Not that he deliberately sets out to mimic the Loch Ness monster.
His increasing susceptibility to injury already had him on a constricted schedule since he won the same major championship in His February car accident limited him even more; not for nothing has he been able to play in only five events thereafter. To be sure, Woods is anything but aggressive with his swing in footage of him making the wild.
Which, if nothing else, underscore his relative lack of preparedness insofar as actually going for 18 holes, let alone teeing off for four rounds of competitive golf.
And, two, he did the same thing last year although the exercise of his prerogative as host to use the exemption on himself was thwarted by an ailment on the week of the tournament. Whether Woods will get to play in the Bahamas during the holidays is a crapshoot at this point, but those averse to risk would do well to withhold their bets on a successful bid. Even granting that he gets in shape for the undertaking, rust figures to prevent him from crowding the top of the leaderboard. Anthony L.
