SAN DIEGO – Tiger Woods has never been one to spend much time reflecting on a victory or defeat but last year’s Tour Championship was different.
Woods was asked on Tuesday at the Farmers Insurance Open, where he is making his 2019 debut, if he’d watched any highlights from the final round at East Lake and quickly added, “I have, yeah, quite a bit.”
The Tour Championship was Woods’ 80th PGA Tour victory and his first in more than five years. It was also the first following a series of potentially career-ending back surgeries. But what truly made his three-stroke victory over Billy Horschel special was how he was able to grind on a difficult golf course.
