Next Year Is Make or Break for Tiger, Says Faldo
LONDON — Next season is likely to be a 'make or break' year for 14-times major winner Tiger Woods, according to former world number one Nick Faldo.
Woods turns 40 next month and is battling to recover from a follow-up procedure on his back that he underwent in October, a month after having had surgery for the second time in a year and a half.
The American has slumped from number one to 384th in the world in the last year and a half and Faldo doubts that he can climb the mountain again.
"He's got to physically get strong enough to practise hard enough to find his game again, try to compete again and then try to win again," the 58-year-old Englishman told Reuters in an interview.
