‘If You’re Going to Retire Then This Is the Place’: Sir Nick Faldo Speaks Bold Words About Tiger Woods, Sparks Retirement Speculation

Tiger Woods is all set to play in the 150th Open Championship and has started practicing for it. The 15-time major winner came out early in the day and walked the green alongside Justin Thomas on Sunday. Although the golfer said he is fit and ready to participate, his walk did not seem to match his claim.

Tiger Woods’ leg injury is still a problem considering that he did not appear to be walking freely. However, Woods has won two of his three Opens on the same course, but six-time major champion Sir Nick Faldo has a different prediction about the situation. Faldo also quoted a few bold statements about the golf ace and his performance at the upcoming event.

What does Tiger Woods’ condition look like to the three-time Open winner, and what did he predict about Woods’ game in the Open? Let’s find out!

Sir Nick Faldo predicts Tiger Woods’ performance

Woods took some rest by missing the US Open this year as he wanted to prepare for the Open Championship. Although, to Faldo, it doesn’t look like Woods is close to winning the event this year. When Sky Sports News asked Faldo if Woods was a strong competitor for him, he said, “I don’t think there’s chances, no,”.

Faldo added, “If you’re going to retire then this is the place to retire, but is it too early?”. He also compared Woods’ strengths to new players and said they are younger and stronger than him. According to Faldo, only the golf star knows what he has in mind about the Open.

Is Woods ready for the Open?

According to Woods, yes, he is prepared. But his fans see otherwise, as his walk did not seem normal. It has been over 16 months since the unfortunate accident occurred to Woods. But it’s shocking to see how the injuries still have an impact on the golfer and his performances.

He played the Masters this season, where he finished in 47th place. He was also a part of the US PGA Championship but later withdrew in the final round due to unbearable pain in his leg. To avoid the situation, Woods used a cart in the recent JP McManus Pro-Am and rested his leg as much as possible.
