Few things are tougher to watch in sport than a legend fighting against the inevitable, and that is exactly what we are seeing with Tiger Woods right now.
The 49-year-old has not played since picking up an achilles injury early this year, just as he was starting to get back into the TGL.
Now, after another round of back surgery, even more questions hang over whether we will see him return to the game.
It is obvious that everyone wants to see him return, but it has to be on his terms, when he is fully ready. Recently, though, every time he has returned, it has been clear he is a shadow of his former self.
The world rankings paint a stark picture, too. Once at the very top, Woods is now facing his lowest point yet.
