Yesterday Tiger Woods was asked about his back, and weather or not he would be able to go for the Master's which is coming up in a few weeks. Tiger has been dealing with a back problem for a few weeks now, and has gave him his worst start in his 18 year career. He has 4 starts this season, but only has 2 complete rounds played. He even had to withdraw from the Honda Classic with back spasms, and before he even played a single hole at the Arnold Palmer Classic.
"For Augusta, it's actually still a little too soon, to be honest with you," Woods said Monday at a news conference to announce that Quicken Loans is the New title sponsor of his golf tournament. "That's kind of the frustrating thing about this."
The Master's is the only tournament that Tiger has never missed in his 18 years of the tour. The tournament isn't for another 2 weeks, so Tiger has a good bit of time to get himself ready. He's even gone as far as giving his back a full weeks worth of rest with treatment, and it still gave him an issue during a tournament.
I think that if Woods gives his back a full 2 weeks worth of rest, along with treatment, he will be ready for the Master's. I really don't see him missing this tournament, all though it's still possible if his back just simply doesn't get any better.
Even though his back is an issue right now, Woods will play in this tournament, in my opinion. Even if that means he has to drop out again because of his back. Though it's still too early to tell, I'm going to be optimistic with this being the only tourney he hasn't missed. Things, like Tiger said himself, are just too early to tell. So I will keep you up to date as soon as I hear anything.
Until next time,
You keep doing what you do, and I'll keep you up to date with everything sports.
