Damn. He's got a pronounced limp just walking from the plane. There isn't the slightest chance he can compete for any title. Even miniature golf.

Is Woods fit for competitive golf?
Tiger Woods has always been a fighter. In his interviews, he has shared stories about how his father had taught him to fight with double the power, to get half the success. And the golf legend has been following his old man’s advice with all his heart and soul. Most people would have given up on their professional career as a golfer after such heavy injuries. Woods knows that his pain is not going away anytime soon, but is still willing to get better, and fitter for the field.

Woods talked about his improving performance at the JP McManus Pro-Am press conference. “I’ve gotten a lot stronger since PGA” Woods said. He was riding in a cart in between the holes and was avoiding using his legs too much. Woods is definitely not as fit as he was earlier, but his swing has still got the same strength and skill as earlier. It will be a treat to watch the golfer play in the upcoming PGA Tour events!
