'I don’t know how many more I have in me' - Could this be Tiger Woods' last Masters?

Two days out from the start of The Masters, Tiger Woods is returning for only the second time this season, as he continues to rehabilitate from the serious injuries he suffered in a car accident in 2021. The 47-year-old was in a sentimental mood as he gave updates on where his game was at and how his body was feeling heading into the first major of the year. Asked whether he has ever thought about this being the last time he plays round the hallowed turf at Augusta National, Woods gave his very honest assessment.

Ad “Yeah, I don't know how many more I have in me," he said.

But still, to just look at the golf course, it looks like it's been here for over a hundred years and hasn't changed, and each and every year we come here, everything has changed since I first played here.” We last saw Woods play competitively at the Genesis Invitational, an event he hosts, back in February where he set pulses racing such was his performance, making the cut as well as an impressive third round 67, but admittedly it’s the recovery that follows which is proving the real issue.

The 15-time major champion has had severe mobility issues with his right leg and foot since his accident but remains upbeat and thankful for the journey he has been on, despite the limitations it has brought. “Yeah, mobility, it's not where I would like it, but it's — as I sit here, I've said to you guys before, I'm very lucky to have this leg; it's mine. Yes, it had been altered and there's some hardware in there, but it's still mine.
