A longtime friend of Tiger Woods has given a very ominous prediction about the famous golfer’s injury situation ahead of the Masters Tournament.
Notah Begay III, Woods’ college friend and confidante and NBC Sports analyst, says his famous friend is dealing with looming injury issues and explores how he can overcome them. He said he was doing it.
“He’s trying to develop a strategy and an approach that he can work within the constraints given,” Begay told reporters on a conference call. And he has some constraints. He has zero mobility in his left ankle and currently has issues with his lower back, but he knew it was going to happen. ”

During a recent golf tournament hosted by Begay, Woods reportedly confided to Begay that he couldn’t move his ankle. That way, something will relieve your stress. In other words, stress is transferred elsewhere. ”
It’s no surprise that Woods has struggled with ankle and leg issues. A legendary golfer faced the possibility of losing his leg due to a serious car accident in 2021.
But Begay pointed out that even though Woods has been working on the problem for some time, he hasn’t found a solution.
“For the past few months, he has been trying to find a way to recover,” Begay told reporters.

“He can play golf. We always knew the question was going to be, ‘Can he walk a 72 (hole)?’ It’s still up in the air. But can he recover from round to round? That’s the biggest question I really don’t know, and he won’t know until he gets out there and sees if the way he’s been preparing for this year’s Masters is working. ”
Woods currently has odds of 130-1 to win the Masters on DraftKings.
