It’s been a struggle for Tiger Woods since winning the 2019 Masters.
He has failed to finish in the top 20 in 13 majors since winning his fifth green jacket, but he has four top 20 finishes in the past 25 majors.
He has played just nine tournaments since the Masters in 2022, with next week’s British Open at Royal Troon being his final tournament of the year.

Woods just isn’t that competitive, and Golf Hall of Famer Colin Montgomerie has said it’s time for Woods to retire.
“Aren’t we there? I thought we were there. past “It’s time for Tiger to retire,” Montgomerie told The Times of London. “Every sportsman has to say goodbye at some point, but it’s going to be very difficult telling Tiger it’s time to retire.”
“Obviously, he still feels he can win. We’re more realistic.”
Montgomerie said Woods “didn’t look like he was enjoying a single shot” at the U.S. Open, adding: “He’s not going to enjoy himself in his fourth and final major tournament of the season either.”

In fact, the Scotsman said Woods should have retired after the British Open two years ago.
“That was the moment. Standing on that bridge and starting to wave, and everybody says, ‘So that’s it?’ ‘Yes,’ and it would have been a great way to go,” Montgomery said. “The stands were packed. Television cameras from all over the world were pointed at him, from every continent. He was walking out there by himself, and there were obviously tears in his eyes. … You can’t beat that walk.”
The 48-year-old Woods was equivocal when asked whether last month’s U.S. Open, where he missed the cut, would be his final tournament.
“I don’t know. … It may or may not be,” he said.
