AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods saw where his golf ball came to rest after his tee shot on the last hole Thursday and knew he was in big trouble.
What happened next would likely determine whether he had any chance to remain a contender at this year’s Masters Tournament.
It was bad enough that Woods’s ball was inches away from the edge of a deep bunker left of the fairway, demanding a very awkward stance for his next shot. The fact is that in every moment of Woods’s daily life since his right leg was rebuilt with a steel rod and metal screws following his 2021 car crash, practically any uneven surface had become awkward.
