Less than 14 months after crashing his SUV, Woods not only returned to play at the Masters, he broke par the first round and made the cut.
But this story — it was even more remarkable than what happened here in 2019. Less than 14 months after crashing his SUV, shattering his right leg and fearing that he might lose the leg or never walk again, Woods not only returned to play at the Masters, he broke par the first round, made the cut, and played all 72 holes.
Before the Masters began, the 46-year-old Woods said he thought he could win the tournament, mostly because that’s how he thinks and that’s what he always says. After he was finished Sunday, he was asked if he might consider this week one of the greatest achievements of his career despite how high his score was.
Once his interviews were done, Woods slowly, gingerly walked over to his family, melting into the arms of his mother, his daughter Sam and his son Charlie waiting for him by the clubhouse. The three of them had been by the 18th green to congratulate Tiger three years earlier when he won this tournament. This time, they were far from the cameras, far from the crowds, but still there.
“Thankful, as I alluded to. I keep saying it, but I am. I really am. I truly am. Just to get to this point, just to be able to play, and not only just to play, but I put up a good first round . I got myself there. I don't quite have the endurance that I would like to have had, but as of a few weeks ago, I didn't even know if I was going to play in this event.”
