Justin Thomas Provides a Big Update About Tiger Woods Ahead of the 150th Open Championship: ‘His Swing Still Looks as Good as Ever’

Tiger Woods has been under a lot of pressure after his return to the course. The 15-time major winner took a long break from golf to recover from the unfortunate car crash injuries that nearly cost him his leg. Woods has been trying to give his best in every match he’s playing since the Masters this season, but his struggle is visible due to his persisting leg injury.

However, former world no. 1 Justin Thomas seems to never leave the side of Woods. The 29-year-old has always supported Woods in his journey, especially after his accident. Although, Thomas is fully aware of Woods’ situation and injuries and has been honest about them as well. But at the same time, Thomas has never stepped back from showing an immense brace for the players.

What did Thomas say about Tiger Woods’ performance in the upcoming 150th Open Championship? Keep reading to find out.

Justin Thomas’ opinion about Woods’ 150th Open performance

Thomas has always been Woods’ biggest support, and he continued to show the same support in a recent interview with Sky Sports News. Thomas said, “Yeah, his swing still looks as good as ever, it does.” The reporter asked Thomas if he got any tips from Tiger about playing, and he replied, “I’ve been picking his brains a little bit. I understand that he’s going to be a little withholding of some information.”

Justin Thomas also added information about the course and how good it is for Tiger Woods. He mentioned that the Old Course was far easier to walk on in comparison to Augusta National and Southern Hills. He said that the course is “a lot flatter” but it also has a few bumpy steps to cover.

What to expect from Tiger Woods?

Tiger Woods came back to the golf world after a long break due to his injuries from the car accident he had met back in February 2021. His career-threatening injuries have clearly shown in the past few events he has been playing. But he’s happy to be a part of the 150th Open. “This is a pretty historic Open. I’m lucky enough to have won there, and want to play there again,” Woods said.

Woods is pretty confident about performing nicely at the Old Course as he has won two of his three Open on the same field. “I’ve won two Opens there, and it’s near and dear to my heart.” But looking at his walk, partially limping, when he entered alongside Justin Thomas, it is hard to see him anywhere near winning the event. Although his swing was as good as it was earlier, his injuries could still come in the way of his title.
