Tiger Woods’ future is always in question. Few people know in which direction Tiger Woods will go and what his goals are, but it is clear that injuries are standing in the way of his return. In addition, the death of his mother, Kultida Woods, left a huge mark on him, with questions: When will Tiger be part of the big scene again?
Teammates and fans hope to see him at TPC Sawgrass. The return of the 48-year-old is expected at the Player Championship, which will start in a few weeks, more precisely on March 13.
Lee Smith, Executive Director of The Players, spoke to the media about Tiger’s return, and pointed out how important he is to everyone.
“As a two-time Players Champion, we would love to have Tiger back in the field at TPC Sawgrass this year.”- he said, as quoted by Talk Sport.
Lee Smith: His presence at any event elevates the global awareness
Smith continued, stressing that his presence is very important for each of the tournaments, considering that fans of this sport, as well as those who rarely follow golf, have a greater interest in following competitions where an experienced golfer is part of them.
TGL is one of the new projects of Woods and McIlroy, and already after a few weeks, it seems that TGL has a huge potential to do great things on the golf scene. Smith hopes that an experienced golfer will be part of this tournament and make it more exciting.
“His presence at any event elevates the global awareness of even the most premier championship, and to see him walk these fairways again would be incredible for our fans, partners and even his fellow players.
As we’ve seen with TGL, just getting some glimpses into his greatness and shot-making ability for a brief moment here and there brings the internet to a halt, so to have that experience for a week at The Players would be an amazing moment for our game.”
