Tiger Woods Foresaw His Career Decline in Golf and Made an Accurate Prediction: ‘I Don’t Think I’ll Ever Be 100% Healthy’

In the last few years, Tiger Woods has unfortunately seen some injury-riddled season. It goes without saying, while fans love watching the GOAT in action, nobody likes seeing the legend injured. 

In an interview, Tiger was asked whether he could picture himself at the top again since he is 40 now. “Absolutely,” Tiger instantly replied. However, the GOAT explained to be at the top again, he would have to regain his health first, saying, “I don’t think I’ll ever be 100% healthy.”

Since he has had many injuries and health-related struggles already, Tiger says no more. He added, “No more surgeries. Seven’s enough. Four knees, three backs, that’s enough.”

The injury history of Tiger Woods

Tiger is famous for his incredible golf skills. He is often credited for taking the sport to global heights. However, that is not the only reason his name would appear on the front pages always. 

Injuries have been with Tiger since the early years of his career. Woods had his first surgery in 2002 to remove the fluid around the ACL. Although he had the surgery in early 2000, Tiger went injury-free until 2008.

Since 2008, Tiger has been injured at least once a year. His injuries were mostly on either his knees or his back. He had to miss many championships, citing injury concerns. In 2014, Tiger missed his first-ever Masters. 

Since his 40th birthday, Woods missed more tournaments than he attended for almost a year because of back spasms. Although 2018 went without any issues, they came back in 2019. Nevertheless, Tiger was confident to play for the PGA Tour, even with numerous struggles.

However, the car accident in February 2021 changed everything. In an interview after the accident, Tiger revealed that he doesn’t think he will ever be able to play at another PGA Tour event and beat the best golfers in the world. 

Even though Tiger shows no confidence in his return, his fans think otherwise. They know the GOAT is injured and tired. However, they believe that Tiger will come back with all his might and claim his throne rightfully.
