The aforementioned scene was not seen, but it should not have differed much from the one starring Tiger Woods at the end of his participation in the Augusta Masters, from which 10 months ago he had to live at home when he returned from the hospital where he spent four without hardly moving.
Limping, almost dragging his right leg, he hugged Kultida, his mother, then one of his uncles, and all his children who had come to see what he immediately defined as “one of the greatest achievements” of his career. “He knows that at most he will be able to play one tournament a month, that we will probably not see him until the PGA, but he is Tiger,” said Jon, with whom I spoke during the match they shared.
“I don’t think people really understand what’s going on in my head,” Woods said. “The people who are close to me understand it. They’ve seen it. Some of the players who are close to me have seen it and they’ve seen some of the things I’ve had to put up with. They appreciate it probably more than anyone else because they know what they mean.” It takes to do this here at this level. It’s one thing to play with my son while laughing,” as he did at the end of the year, “and it’s another thing to play in a major championship. have the opportunity to overcome it. After 14 months, I can play and play, in addition, in the Masters”.
Regarding the inner force that has driven him that seemed unnecessary Being the player who has won the most tournaments in the history of the PGA Tour (82 along with Sam Snead) and the second largest, 15 after Jack Nicklaus, Woods referred to how “difficult” it was “There are many days when I just don’t want to do anything. It just hurts, but I’ve had a great team around me that is super positive and has motivated and helped me. There have also been easy days, but they have been less than the others.”
And he insisted that it is the session where the key to its continuity is and also the rawest moments. “Jumping in those ice baths, doing it several times a day, it’s really obnoxious, but it works. And it’s only possible because of the support around me. I couldn’t have done it without them.”
