Woods unable to conjure Masters magic in forgettable final round
The HinduTiger Woods has produced countless magical moments at Augusta National but during the final round of the Masters on Sunday the five-times champion looked a shadow of his former self and left many wondering how many competitive rounds he has left. By the time he arrived at the picturesque par-three 12th hole in the heart of Amen Corner, a sweat-soaked Woods tipped his black cap to the packed gallery who greeted him with applause and cheers of “Let’s go, Tiger!” After tapping in for par at the 18th Woods again removed his cap but this time waved it at the thankful patrons around the green who showered him with more applause and wondered if it would be the last time he competes at Augusta National. Coming into this year’s Masters Woods had only played 24 holes of competitive golf in 2024 due to nagging injuries but despite his physical limitations the 15-times major champion said this week he believed he had one more title run in him. While Woods defied the odds with an improbable win at the 2019 Masters two years after spinal fusion surgery, his physical limitations and few competitive starts suggest another major triumph is not on the cards.
