‘He’s going to dominate’ – Source reveals Tiger’s new career goal…and it revolves around the Masters

Published

Around 13 months ago, the 15-time Major winner was involved in a serious, almost career-ending car accident, but has recently been seen practicing with far more regularity.

Highlights of his time away from high-level competition include appearing, and finishing runners-up, alongside son Charlie, at the PNC Championship. He has also spent time watching the 13-year old improve through the junior ranks over the last six months, alongside some quality time with all his family.

As a recent inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame, Tiger has already been confirmed as going down in history, although as a winner of 82 PGA Tour events and 93 total worldwide, he probably didn’t require that further welcome accolade.

The 46-year-old has already pulled off a couple of ‘miracle’ victories at major championships – the first at the 2008 U.S Open, when overcoming a serious leg injury and an elongated play-off with Rocco Mediate and, in 2019, when returning from a fused back to win his fifth green jacket.

To do it once again would be a greater feat than either of those, but a member of his team confirmed to PEOPLE this was the target

“He’s aiming for the 2023 Masters Tournament, says a source. “And he has a new goal – to be the oldest winner at the Masters. Jack Nicklaus won when he was 46. Tiger will be 47 next year when he competes, and that’s the newest record he is going for. He’ll stop at nothing to accomplish it.”

They added: “Tiger was known for his focus before, but now he’s learned to focus through terrible pain. And now that the pain has mostly faded, that focus is still there. He’s going to be a force when he returns to the game. He’s going to dominate.”

Yes, Jack was 46 with that Masters win, but then he wasn’t plagued with injuries, either. Will Tiger even be able to walk the course? Quite a “puff” piece but an unrealistic expectation. I hope we don’t have to endure seeing Tiger being carted off to the parking lot again.

Meth is a dangerous drug that will ruin careers, especially journalism. Tiger will be darn lucky to even play again, let alone be competitive. He’s up against younger, longer, and stronger players who hasn’t been in car accidents recently.

It’s not impossible but highly improbable that Tiger will even win a regular Tour event let alone a major. The fields are too deep with young, fearless players. They don’t cower at the thought of Tiger on the leaderboard like his peers did during his heyday.

He can try if he wants to.

But, I would recommend he focus on getting well and rebuilding his strength, and then land with a bang in the Champions Tour in 2025.

If he works on getting well, he could still play some PGA Tour events upon his return.

Would love to see Tiger win again,however, it’s unlikely he can just show up four or five times a year and take down the top players in the world who are fit,tour hardened and in competition form. I would hate to see him embarrassing himself and his legacy.Like hearing an aging vocalist or other veteran way past their prime. TV ratings go would be great though.

  It’s Tiger, so I wouldn’t bet against that. Phil won a major at 51. Good luck with that.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Buy here.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.

It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
