Golflingend Gary Player gives Tiger Woods a strong warning to Tiger Woods before the master

Gary Player has warned Tiger Woods that he may have difficulty running through Augusta nationally – let yourself be won around the master.

Woods is a five -time champion at Augusta and last won in 2019 when he secured a remarkable victory at the age of 43 – and a 15th Major crown.

This brought him a five -year liberation from the Players Championship, which looked at the flagship of the PGA Tour and the “fifth major” of the Golf.

But the 49-year-old, who has been plagued by injury problems in recent years, will miss the event at Sawgrass this week.

Last September Woods had a sixth back operation in 10 years. He gave up his planned comeback at Genesis Invitational last month and has not played an official round since July.

Now Woods has warned that the master’s physical challenge could prove to be too punishing for his creaking body.

“But your legs carry you around. Your legs hit the ball, not your hands. And his legs are not in good condition.

“The masters what people don’t understand, take a look at this tournament. It is uphill and downhill and it is Sidehill. And that’s hard, hard for the legs. I don’t know if he can run around there. We hope he will play. Everyone wants to see him play. ‘

The Masters is the first of the four big championships of the year. Woods ended last year 60 and 47th in 2022. These are the only ones twice when he ended four rounds of a major since 2020.
