AUGUSTA, Ga. – Tiger Woods got a glimpse Saturday of what the other side of 60 feels like. Though only 46 years old, the creaks, cricks and pops emanating from his right leg brought more grimaces to his face than his previous 36 holes combined at Augusta National Golf Club.
Woods is playing his first competitive rounds since a car accident rearranged the bones in his right leg in February of 2021. But these last 18 holes were more survive than thrive. He shot 78 -- the worst of his 93 rounds in the Masters -- and now sits at 7-over for the tournament.
“Not as limber and as loose as it normally is, that’s for sure,” said Woods, speaking of both his surgically repaired leg and spine.
