We are so far removed from the 2019 Masters. Since then he's had a near death high-speed car accident and nearly lost his leg! He's had some foot surgeries, a back surgery and now a ruptured Achilles! Plus he's going to be 50 the next time he plays golf. It's a sad sad day for sport. Anything we ever get on the golf course from Tiger needs to be viewed as a gift – regardless of the result! If he ever contends again and gives us one more "Tiger" moment then we should all be grateful!
Hes a hypochondriac. Washed up so he blames it on this injury that injury what a crock
Just quitting you are done!
Everyone saying no one cares is delusional. You may not care individually and may have a few friends that agree with you but there are plenty of people that care. Plenty of people that the only reason they go to a tournament is because Tiger is going. I was at the PGA Championship on Thursday last year and I promise you his following around the course was one of if not the biggest all day. He’s a legend, they aren’t just gonna stop talking about him because you complain on a video.
A quarter of a century on pain meds I guess that will grind your soul down in the long run
Live from the Players… to discuss a non-player…. Over and over and over again 🤪
After the accident he has never been close to what he was. The guy’s body is so shot he’s worse than the million dollar man Lee Majors. Forget more surgery….head straight for Musk cyborg labs.
Not a huge set back. He's been set back for years and he's washed.
Tiger fans needs to lower their expectation.
Not what the struggling PGA needs at this time.
Injuries like this is proof there is no intelligent design.
Tiger just does not have the health genetics. If he did it world be crazy.

you hang with trump bad things are coming your way
Can anyone tell me how you rupture an Achilles Heel while practicing golf? What do you suppose he was doing? Sure seems like it's the Golf Gods telling TW, um, "Play? No Way!"
Surely he’s not going to keep trying to come back. Time to enjoy the yacht and enjoy his kids.
Remember, Tom Watson was just 2 weeks shy of 60 when he was a 9 iron and 2 puts away from winning the Open Championship. That had to leave a mark. Tiger is still not done yet. Why would anyone say or even believe that, because he's Tiger Woods!
Fragile
I rather have Phil’s careers since 2009 than Tiger woods by a mile
Sad he will remain tied with Sam sneed now with 82 wins forever
I don't think he will win another PGA but I am confident that he can win on the Senior tour.
NOW he's old news to me.
Thank you for everything you have done for Golf, Tiger!
Good luck Charlie..supporting you
KING TIGER TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF CHAMP!!! I almost cried when I saw the news that you had to undergo surgery for your achilles. I have a suggestion for you if you do not mind? Take the rest of this year off. Get some rest and continue to recuperate nicely. You are the G(GREATEST) in the game of GOLF. You have absolutely NOTHING to prove to anyone. You are a TRUE CHAMPION!!!(Smile).😀😀😀😀. From all of your of your fans globally, we absolutely ADORE you. God's Richest and Best Blessings to you and your GORGEOUS children; Sam and Charlie. (You and Lady Elin's 2.0).Take care Champ, Bless up!!!(Smile).😀😀😀😀.
He is too young to have all these injuries. I mean, I get he had an devastating car wreck, but all the other injuries are just crazy.
Ah man!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. 🙄
Tiger just going through a very tough patch hes strong enough to get out of it.The competitive year lost maybe a blessing in disguise
Tiger could beat me and all my buddies from 1991 till today with a showel.. no worries tiger .. @ 71 years old now.. thank you tiger!
I think it's more mentally, than the physical. My grandfather used to say, if you really want something you'll find a way, if not, you'll find an excuse.
enough already ….
If Tiger trys to come back to the pga he should forget the majors n players… go Win the Jon Deere Tiger and get #83 !
Years of compensating for the right leg injury looks to have taken a toll on the left achilles
Tiger probably gets into a accident brushing his teeth !
Enough is enough. Retire and enjoy the rest of your life that will be great due to your prior success. Enough of the Tiger health news!! Always will be the GOAT. Let that be the memory and not constant health issues!!!!
Sorry. No empathy from me. All of Tiger's problems are self-made. He worked for and earned talent and greatness and the potential to be a consequential human being. As with many who came before, his hubris was his undoing.
lol – people still fawn over this guy?
Not surprising, he has the weakest spindley calves I’ve ever seen on an athlete.
TGL is to blame and needs to be cancelled
All the dummies saying Tiger was great for exercising for years feel dumb now. He should have never been training like a freak athlete for years. Its golf not football, you don't need to work out a crazy amount. He could have elongated his career so much more if he wasn't so dumb with his training
Heal up legend!! Would be awesome to see him get 1 more big win and call it a career. Would have all the time to couch Charlie into being a pro!
Geez! Now the guy can't even practice at home without hurting himself. He suffered a "huge setback" from nothing ! What competitive golf? Hitting golf balls at a simulated screen with his friend Rory ??
Golfers should not work out in gyms. No need. Just play golf and do stretching exercises.
Yoing Tom Morris went to the pub after playing. Modern golfers should learn from his example.
I saw Tiger's swing in year 2000 at St. Andrews when he won the Grand Slam. There was never a better golf swing. He was skinny back then before he ruined his body with all that bulking up. Butch Harmon had his swing perfected back then. Then Tiger went to a plethora of swing gurus that could not break 100 at The Masters.
All that garage golf weakened his legs
Idiots on golf channel making stupid statements followed up with I can't really see but … Geeze
The guy has turned into a joke.
Sometimes i think that when his game is in total disarray, he suddenly "gets injured".
Combined androgenic-anabolic steroids (AAS) and overloading affects tendon collagen metabolism and ultrastructure and is often associated with a higher risk of injury. Not sure, but this has always been my suspicion
