Tiger Woods has detailed the gruelling schedule he went through in order to make a remarkable return at this week’s Masters tournament, just over a year after suffering severe injuries in a car crash. Following his fairytale return at Augusta National, Woods admitted he ‘didn’t have one day off’ after being given the all-clear to leave his bed three months after his accident.
Following his return on Thursday he said: “I’ve been working everyday, we never took a day off so once I got out of that bed after three months there was no days off… we did something every single day.” Despite 17 months away from competitive golf, Woods put in an impressive opening round performance on Thursday after carding a one-under-par 71 to leave him in good stead heading into tomorrow’s second round.
After a steady start, the 15-time major winner rolled back the years at the par-three sixth after firing his tee shot within a few feet of the pin, before comfortably tapping in for birdie. Woods then gave a shot back at the ninth, before getting one back into the birdie column after carding a well-worked four at the par five 13th. A frustrating bogey followed at 14, however in typical Woods fashion he hit back with his second two of the day.- this time at 16 – to cap off an impressive start to his tournament.
