Following the tournament, where Thomas was expected to deliver a more commanding performance, he offered a candid self-critique. Reflecting on his future, he stated, “I just hopefully put myself in the same position in two weeks at Augusta and finish it off better.”

It’s worth noting that Thomas hasn’t won a tournament—at least one of the majors—since 2022. Expectations are high for him to bounce back as one of the favorites in The Masters, scheduled for April 13. However, in last year’s edition, he fell short of expectations.

Thomas didn’t have a losing mindset after being defeated by Viktor Hovland. He took the opportunity to congratulate the champion with a handshake, saying, “Well done. We’ll see you at Augusta.” Both will be present at The Masters, where Thomas will likely be considered a favorite.

Thomas knows there is still plenty to fight for in the PGA Championship

As a golfer, he showed that he can move forward, and that this defeat was just a setback. Despite losing, he continued signing autographs for the fans. However, he knows it was painful to lose the three-shot lead he had against Hovland.

On the other hand, champion Hovland spoke highly of Thomas, acknowledging that the lead was an important factor in the final round, but it didn’t cause him to lose control against Thomas.

A few weeks ago, the legend was ready to play in the Genesis Invitational, but the death of his mother, Kultida, led him to ultimately decide not to participate. “I planned to tee it up, but I’m just not ready. I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my Mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.”

Now, the big question is what Tiger’s plan is as he heads toward what should be his main short-term goal: The Masters. The tournament at Augusta will take place from April 10 to 13, although the ideal preparation a few days before could be The Players.

Is Tiger Woods playing in The Players?

Tiger Woods has yet to confirm whether he will play in The Players, which will take place from March 13 to 16 in Ponte Vedra. The tournament’s executive director, Lee Smith, sent an optimistic message to the star, considering that Woods has shown in TGL that he has the level to compete again. It all happened during an exclusive interview with Talk Sport.

“As a two-time Players Champion, we would love to have Tiger back in the field at TPC Sawgrass this year. His presence at any event elevates the global awareness of even the most premier championship, and to see him walk these fairways again would be incredible for our fans, partners and even his fellow players. As we’ve seen with TGL, just getting some glimpses into his greatness and shot-making ability for a brief moment here and there brings the internet to a halt, so to have that experience for a week at The Players would be an amazing moment for our game.”

It is well known that Woods may have the opportunity to return to play golf at the highest level is a great fortune after the serious car accident he had in which he suffered multiple leg injuries. However, getting used to associating Tiger’s name with bad results is not easy.

Tiger Woods‘ performance at the 2022 Masters already foretold that this could happen: he finished just 47th in the tournament. However, the alarm signal came at the current PGA Championship in which he signed his worst round in this tournament, which became the fifth worst of his entire career.

Which have been the worst rounds in Tiger Woods’ career?

It was evident that Woods struggled to compete in the third round of the 2022 PGA Championship. His constant manifestations of physical ailments pointed to it and his 79-stroke score confirmed it. He had signed the worst round of his history when competing in this tournament. His main goal now is to avoid finishing in the last position.

It is the fourth time in his career that Woods has had this high record. The first came in 2010 in the second round of the Wells Fargo Championship; the second in 2013 in the third round of the Memorial; the third, a year later also in the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open.

The worst rounds of the successful career of Tiger Woods, champion of 15 major championships, have been in 2015, with 80 strokes in the first round of the U.S. Open, then in the third round of the 2002 Open when he signed 81 strokes, then in 2015, when he had 82 and 85 strokes in the second and third round of the Phoenix Open and the Memorial, respectively.
