Tiger Woods on track to play once per month, focused on majors - ESPN

Tiger Woods remains hopeful he can play one tournament per month for the rest of the 2024 season.

Woods, appearing on the «Today» show Wednesday morning, said he is still following the calendar he mapped out before the season began. But physical limitations continue to give the 15-time major winner pause.

He completed the Masters last month but requires a «cold plunge every day, religiously» to get his body going and was «extremely sore» when he left Augusta National. Woods shot a 16-over 304 at the Masters and finished last among the 60 golfers who made the 36-hole cut.

«I have basically the next three months — three majors — and hopefully that works out,» said Woods, who last won a major in 2019.

Up next is the PGA Championship at Valhalla in two weeks. The U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 begins June 13, and the Open Championship at Royal Troon in Scotland begins July 18. Woods has not played all four majors in a year since 2019.

Woods, 48, said he hopes to capture his 16th major title and ruin the «15 Stripes» logo design — each stripe represents a major victory — on his new apparel line, Sun Day Red.

«My goal is to ruin the logo. I want to keep ruining the logo,» Woods said.

To win one of golf's marquee events, Woods must contend with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Woods said he remains wide-eyed by the Masters champion.

«If you just stand back and watch ball flight, there's something different about his,» Woods said. «It's just so consistent. It's just a matter of — if he putts decent, he's going to win. If he putts great, he blows away fields. If he has a bad putting week, he contends. He's just that good a ball striker.»
