Tiger Woods has been saddled with countless injuries that have restricted him from following his biggest passion, golf. The talk of the golf world between 2010 and 2020 was largely about the 15-time major champ’s worrying injuries. Now, the latest revelation from Bob Harig’s ‘Drive: The Lasting Legacy of Tiger Woods’ sheds detailed insights on Tiger’s worrying plight that the world never knew. 2013 was when fate decided to play the main villain in Tiger Woods’s story. Since then, headlines after headlines have popped up regarding his health. All these paved the path toward 2017, the year that changed Woods’s life forever. That year was miserable for him, and back-to-back poor performances pushed Woods into the search for an ultimate cure. The 2017 Masters, which hosted Danny Willett’s dinner, was the starting point for Woods’s biggest surgery. At the dinner, soon after he whispered ‘I’m done’ to Nick Faldo, Woods flew across the Atlantic to meet with experts to find a solution to the miserable state he was in. And this resulted in the inevitable. He had three microdiscectomies, and after doing the preliminary checkups, physical therapist Dan Hellman was astounded by the very fact that Woods was able to even swing his golf club with this condition!During the press conference after his surgery, Woods was optimistic, but that was far from the truth, according to Notah Begay. “Honestly, he couldn’t get up out of the chair under his own power,” stated Begay, who had known Woods since their Stanford days. Woods also complained to his dear friend about the unbearable pain from the stitches incurred during surgery. ‘A sadness came over me. Maybe we’ll never see him play golf again,’ was Notah Begay’s response as he witnessed his beloved friend’s pain. Going back to 2017, it’s shocking to even comprehend how Tiger Woods could bite down on the gut-wrenching pain and attend a press meeting in conjecture with Big Cedar Lodge just two weeks before his surgery. Summing up these tough luck and miserable moments, Woods is yet again gearing up for another Masters outing. But nightmarish withdrawals, including the recent Genesis Invitational chaos and health concerns, are causing major worry for Woods’s Masters dream. Despite the roadblocks, one could say that his appearance at Augusta will be a refreshing sight for sore eyes. The crushing ‘health’ nightmare has not faltered fans’s hopesDr. Richard Guyer once said, “I have always believed in Tiger…“If anyone could do this, it was him’. Tiger Woods’s surgeon was throwing praise at the 2019 Masters Champion. But the reality of that glorious victory is filled with misfortune for him. More surgeries followed Woods after his victory, and the devastating car accident on February 23, 2021, dragged him back to point zero.Since then, professionally, Woods has been struggling, and fans witnessed withdrawal after withdrawal, which Woods was forced to take. But optimism is still running high among fans for their hero.
