Tiger Woods is widely regarded as one of the best golfers to ever play the sport. But after another poor showing at a major championship, the PGA Championship that started on Thursday, there may be a real argument that he may never contend in another meaningful tournament ever again.
Coming into the PGA Championship, Woods came off a relatively disappointing Masters Tournament where he played quite well in the first two days of the tournament, but ultimately collapsed on the weekend. He finished at 16-over-par, the worst score of anybody to make the cut.
He didn’t fare much better at the PGA Championship, missing the cut after finishing at seven-over-par for the tournament. Again, he hung in there on the first day of the tournament, but then hemorrhaged strokes to the field on Friday, finishing six strokes over par on the day.
Naturally, many golf fans are quite upset that they won’t be able to see the great Tiger Woods play on the weekend.

🚨I still believe in Tiger Woods and calls for retirement is an over reaction. This man can still hit golf shots and was top 15 off the tee today. He can continue to play major championships until the end of time. Once he turns 50 he will use senior tour events in a cart as prep…

Can’t go triple, bogey, triple, even I know that.

At this point in Tiger’s career given all the injuries he has battled through in recent years, it is always a treat to see him out there, even if he isn’t exactly contending anymore in big tournaments.
Are his recent struggles due to his injuries of the past that are seemingly still affecting him? Or is it from a lack of meaningful tournament action as of late?
Who knows, it could be a combination of both factors. But it sure seems like Woods may have a real uphill battle ahead of him if he wishes to win any more majors in the future.
