Tiger Woods Comeback
Tiger Woods is making an urgent
comeback again in the PGA Tour and he did it recently at the Valspar
Championship. Tiger Woods has proved critics wrong by making this recent
comeback due to being healthy of body, mind and spirit. After coming back from spinal
surgery 11 months ago, Tiger Woods took part in the lead early in the final
round in just his fourth start of the PGA Tour since being put on hold for a
year. Even though his putter may have failed him at times, which made critics
say that it was his downfall, he came back late with a birdie from 43 feet on
the 71st hole which left him one behind, but his 39 foot birdie
chance forced a playoff on the 72nd hole fell two feet short. He
shot a 70 and broke par in all four rounds in a tournament for the first time
since 2013.
Tiger Woods told reporters “My game
was quite solid this entire week” and also said “As a whole, I felt very good
about what I did this week. I believe my game is progressing.” While also
adding “As I was telling you guys yesterday, I had really some nice building
blocks at Honda (where Tiger Woods tied for 12th two weeks ago) and
I have had a few tweaks for this week and it paid off. I hit the ball well,
made some putts this week and the thing that I was the most happy about is when
I did miss, I missed on the correct side and that’s what we have to do out
here.” Even though there were times that Tiger Woods did not know if he would
get out and golf in the PGA Tour again by making a statement saying he could
not see the light at the end of the tunnel and also added during last year’s
Presidents Cup saying he had no idea what his future held.
He
pulled through by fighting through the trials and tribulations placed in front
of him. After the 11 months Tiger Woods spine was fused and 10 months after his
DUI mug shot went viral on the internet and 5 months since doctors gave him the
okay for full activities without restrictions, Tiger Woods had the building
blocks in order. Tiger Woods regained his swing speed and his power to full
capability. His short game was up to date too. What he needed, he added, were
competitive rounds to construct rhythm in order to play professional golf
again, a tempo that would keep him sharp. A little while in his comeback, Tiger
Woods came to a point where he started saying he just needed to clean up his
game and stay away from dumb mistakes to become a contender again. That time
has come about.
