Tiger Woods ended his season on a disappointing note by missing the cut at the British Open, a tournament where he has enjoyed considerable success in the past. This marks yet another chapter in the legendary golfer’s ongoing struggle to regain the form that once made him dominant. Playing at Royal Liverpool, where he famously won the Open Championship in 2006, Woods found the course challenging as he battled both the elements and his game. Despite his best efforts, he failed to make it past the cut line, finishing well outside the qualifying score after two rounds.
For Woods, the 2024 season has been a mixture of brief comebacks and persistent setbacks. After undergoing several surgeries in recent years, most notably to his back and leg, his ability to compete at the highest level has been significantly hindered. While flashes of brilliance still emerge in his game, consistency has eluded him, making each tournament a test of endurance rather than a fight for titles.
The British Open miss also raises questions about Woods’ future in professional golf. At 48 years old, time is becoming a factor, and while his competitive spirit remains as fierce as ever, the physical toll on his body continues to mount. Many fans and analysts are left wondering whether he will ever return to full form or if this marks the beginning of his gradual exit from the sport. For now, however, Woods remains determined to continue playing, hoping that he can find one more major moment in the twilight of his career.
