One of the finest Golfers in the world, Tiger Woods has said he’s not ready to quit the game of golf.
Woods, who competed in the 150 Open said he has no intention of hanging up his clubs.
So far, he has played only three times this season, at the Masters, US PGA Championship and The Open, and his results got progressively worse.
He vow to improve on his fitness levels following his emotional exit from the Open Championship.
He said “I have nothing, nothing planned, zero,” Woods said. “Maybe something next year. I don’t know. But nothing in the near future. This is it. I was just hoping to play this one event this year.”
Speaking on his exit from the Open, Woods shed tears walking up 18, and was hugely thankful to the crowd at St Andrews.
“As I walked further along the fairway, I saw Rory right there,” Woods said. “He gave me the tip of the cap. It was a pretty cool – the nods I was getting from guys as they were going out and I was coming in, just the respect, that was pretty neat. And from a players’ fraternity level, it’s neat to see that and feel that.
“And then as I got into the shot – or closer to the green, more into the hole, the ovation got louder – you could feel the warmth and you could feel the people from both sides. I Felt like the whole tournament was right there.
“I had a few tears. I’m not one who gets very teary-eyed very often about anything. But when it comes to the game and the passing on of – just the transition, I was lucky enough in ’95 to watch Arnold (Palmer) hit his first tee shot in the second round as I was going to the range. And I could hear Jack (Nicklaus) playing his last one – I was probably about four holes behind him.
“Just to hear the ovations getting louder and louder and louder. I felt that as I was coming in.
“The people knew that I wasn’t going to make the cut at the number I was. But the ovations got louder as I was coming home.”
