Tiger Woods' competitive nature keeping him far away from ceremonial status

ORLANDO, Fla. – In two weeks, Tiger Woods turns 47, which for most golfers is twilight time. But as we all know, Tiger Woods has never been “most golfers.” And even now, it’s impossible to separate the competitor from the competition.

There are plenty of reasons to consider this version of Tiger a ceremonial player. His rebuilt right leg following the horrific car crash in early 2021 is better.

That’s it, just better, full stop.

“I'm grateful to have this limb and it's mine. It's not some fake limb. It's mine. And, yes, there are some issues with it, but I still have it,” he shrugged Friday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.
