“[Tiger Woods’s] Not 25 or 30″: Justin Thomas Makes an Honest Confession About the Tour Legend’s Goal for 2024

Tiger Woods’s comeback to competitive golf back in December added a layer of healthy competition to the golfing scene. The golfer announced at the Hero World Challenge 2023 that going forward in 2024, he would be willing to play at least one event per month, giving an early Christmas gift to his fans. While many would say that this is an overly optimistic goal, Justin Thomas thinks otherwise!

JT is a credible source to estimate the crux of Woods’s promise, and whenever he talks about Tiger Woods, one must listen! Indeed, the evaluation of the fifteen-time major winner’s statement by Thomas has once again stunned the golf fraternity, but in a good way!

Tiger Woods will be toughing it out, says Justin Thomas

Over the years, Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods have shared an amicable bond. In the 30-year-old’s opinion, Woods’s mentality when it comes to golf makes nothing impossible for him. He, thus, ratified Woods’s hopes of playing competitively at least once every month and agreed that the Tiger of the Golf Jungle would be doing it regardless of what life brings his way.

Thomas also talked about how the age factor must have played a major influence in the 15-time major champion’s decision to make a swift return to the game. This is because, unlike younger players, Woods doesn’t have the luxury of taking time off for longer periods.

During GOLF’s Subpar podcast, Thomas said, “I’ve learned very quickly to not put anything past him. I remember when he played the Masters; I didn’t think there was any way he was playing for multiple months. So it’s hard because he really can. But I also think that he knows that he’s not 25 or 30. He can’t just take a couple years off.”

What is the current state of Woods’s health?

Tiger Woods cleared up rumors regarding his current health status at the 2023 Hero World Challenge. He clarified that while his ankle is doing much better, he is now facing problems in his right leg and back.
