Woods performance at the Pro-Am event

Tiger Woods finished tied for 39th on Tuesday at the JP McManus Pro-Am in Limerick, Ireland, a star-studded competition that acted as a warm-up for the upcoming Open Championship. The good news for Woods was that Tuesday’s round marked a slight improvement from his opening 77 on Monday.

Before making a mistake at the 18th and recording the final of his four bogeys for the day, the highlights of the round were consecutive birdies at the par-4 15th and par-3 16th. But nobody in the audience seemed to care. On the 18th hole, he was greeted with thunderous cheers, and some supporters screamed “Tiger, Tiger!” as he left the last green at Adare Manor.

He withdrew in the third round of the PGA Championship in May after finishing 47th at the Masters in April. He opted not to play in the U.S. Open last month due to health issues following his accident. The 150th Open Championship, which begins on July 14 at the renowned St. Andrews, will be Woods’ next challenge.
