Tiger Woods couldn’t make the cut at the 150th Open Championship. Since the Old Course will not host the tournament for a long time, it is likely this was his last time playing at the home of golf. While the news itself is depressing, the heartbreaking thing is that it will be the last time the golf world will get to see the legend play this year!

“I have nothing. Nothing planned. Zero,” Woods answered when asked about his schedules this year during the press meet after round 2. “Maybe something next year, I don’t know,” he added. “But nothing in the near future.”

Since the 2022 Masters Tournament ended, the 46-year-old has been looking forward to playing in his favorite course in the world. However, he is still recovering from the injuries he had in the accident last year and hasn’t been able to play well in any tournaments ever since. 

The golfer only had plans to play at St. Andrews after the accident!

“I was just hoping to play this one event this year,” Woods opened up what had been his original schedule after the accident. “I was lucky enough again, got three events, and they are all majors,” he added.

Woods wanted to play in the Open Championship, no matter what. Therefore, he chose to rest after the second major, only to return last week at the JP McManus Pro-Am.
