I hate to say this but unless his legs get better to the point where he can walk without discomfort for 4 rounds and play more frequently, he is done.
I agree. The majors are generally setup to be tough and grueling. And a man in his very late 40's with the type of injuries Tiger had will find it extremely difficult to manage. But since his back issues and surgery the talk has always been "does he have another major in him". And before his car crash the answer was mostly 'yes'. But watching him walk the course with a visible limp it's hard to fathom him winning another major. But golf fans want to see him compete at the majors nonetheless. They want to see one or two examples of the brilliance that made him arguably the G.O.A.T. He still pulls the biggest galleries at these tournaments.
I don’t know if you guys are familiar with the Bethpage black course on Long Island but it’s a beast of a walk (you have to walk, no golf carts allowed). I used to play it a few times a year, many years ago. These days, I hardly play it, and when I do I get beat up physically and on the scorecard.
Oh I know about Bethpage. I used to work with some guys who played it and they said there is a sign out in front that warns crappy golfers to stay home if their game isn't up to par (pun intended).
