I just saw that Tiger Woods is on the Leaderboard coming in on Sunday's Val Spar Championship (I know, I've never heard of it either but it is still a PGA tournament
) and has a chance to make his 80th win on the tournament circuit.
I thought he was never going to make anymore wins to break of the old time record holder of tournament wins in the PGA ever again since he had all those toxic episodes in his life over the past 5 years with his wife chasing him with a golf club, OTC drug abuse and getting pulled over and put in a detox facility, being part of the frappening along with his then girlfriend Lindsey Vonn (she had her phone hacked into as well) and whatever else the media did not disclose in the public eye.
He has not won a tournament since August 2013.
The best to not being able to win a single tournament since then, you thought this guy's life in golf was over and done with.
I'm still in the opinion that the guy is too old. What has changed over the 5 years he has not won a tournament that would make him win this year? All that is happening is that he is getting older and older each year and he can't do anything about it. The thing is, in sports the younger players will have the better chance of winning against the older ones.
To old? You do realize what sport we are talking about with the players just standing there hitting the ball. They rarely get injuries like they were sustain if they were on a court or on a pitch constantly moving putting stress on their knees and legs.
Arnold Palmer played until he was into his late 70's.
So age has nothing to do with it.
It was his back that was giving him grief (I work at a desk job and I have back problems with just sitting there
) and he had surgery to correct that so it seems it is not longer an issue for him to get back on to the greens and win some more tournaments.
