Where is the GOAT headed next? PGA Tour? PGA Tour Champions? Majors and senior majors? Many questions remain, and it’s complicated.
Quo vadis, Tiger? This question has been raised almost every year since 2009 when his extramarital affairs came to light. Since 2014, after a back injury sidelined him following a return to top form the prior year. Since 2019, when his incredible fifth Masters win and 15th major defied the ‘They Never Come Back’ narrative and rewarded those who believed the GOAT must never be counted out.
At the very latest, this question intensified after the tragic car crash in California on February 23, 2021, which Woods miraculously survived. The crash nearly cost him his right lower leg and foot, drastically impacting his playing career just as an SUV driven by him, possibly due to a brief microsleep, crashed.
Quo vadis, Tiger: Eligibility for PGA Tour Champions and What Lies Ahead?
Eldrick Tont Woods is now 50 years old, born December 30, 1975, at 10:30 PM in Long Beach, California. The milestone brings additional aspects to his future plans that focus on his health but complicate this significant birthday. As an 82-time tour winner, he is now eligible to play on the PGA Tour Champions, the senior circuit, where he can ride a cart across the fairways without needing special permission. So, all seems smooth sailing.
