Tiger Woods couldn’t hold back the tears as he left the 18th green in what could be his final ever appearance at St Andrews.
The American hobbled round the Old Course and missed the cut as he suffered from pain caused injuries sustained in a car crash this year. Woods has missed the cut this weekend, finishing +9 after playing 36 holes.
The Open isn’t due to return to the Home of Golf until 2030. And Woods doubts he’ll be ‘physically able’ to take part in eight years’ time with injuries already taking their toll on one of the true greats. But if this is to be his final bow on the iconic course, then he’ll leave with an emotional ovation from the fans still ringing in his ears. As Woods made his way down the final fairway, the crowd rose as one to show their appreciation for the 15-time major winner.
