The 150th Open at St Andrews, 14-17 July 2022
Tiger Woods: "I am not retiring from the game of golf, I just don't know if I will be physically able to play back here again."
From The Irish Golf Course Guide:
Tiger Woods leaves the 150th Open with plenty of health questions surrounding him. The game didn't hold up around the Old Course in St Andrews sadly, but to get 3 majors out of this year, with 2 cuts made is an achievement in itself.
It was an emotional scene as his playing partners let him walk over the Swilken Bridge on the 18th hole & the group containing Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa & Xander Schauffele all stopped to tip the cap to the great man.
We will see him again, but may not see him at the Home of Golf. (c) R&A The Open [Video above]
From The 150th Open, latest:
Tiger Woods has experienced plenty in life but even he has surely not seen anything quite like what unfolded on St Andrews’ final hole on this barmy Friday afternoon.
With the sun shining and the galleries packed, he smacked his tee shot down the middle of the fairway, stepped across the Swilcan Bridge and was hit by an emotional freight train the likes of which the Old Course has rarely witnessed.
After rounds of 78-75, the cut was a distant dream, and so this was Woods’ St Andrews farewell - the end of a love affair that started 27 years ago and delivered two Claret Jugs.
Those here were hardly going to let the moment slide and tears filled the three-time Champion Golfer’s eyes as he was cheered, clapped and whooped for nearly five full minutes from the grandstand, the road and even the R&A Clubhouse. Read more
