Analysis: Tiger Woods is playing all the majors. But for how much longer?

Associated Press  

TROON, Scotland — Tiger Woods is playing all four majors for the first time since 2019, which at the start of the year would have been cause for great optimism. Leave it to Colin Montgomerie to put those thoughts into words found in a Times of London interview ahead of the British Open, when he said at one point, “What the hell is he doing?” The entirety of what Montgomerie told the Times: “I hope people remember Tiger as Tiger was, the passion and the charismatic aura around him. “Well, as a past champion, I’m exempt until I’m 60,” Woods said, speaking to his time at the British Open. “I think that’s one of the reasons why you see older champions up there on the board because they’re not forced to have to carry the ball 320 yards.” Woods always will be linked with Augusta National because of his watershed win at age 21 when he won the 1997 Masters by 12 shots, and it is the major he has won the most times.
