Unfortunately, Woods’ career has been largely marred by injuries over the past decade. Before injuries began to pile up, he was in line to break Jack Nicklaus’ record (18) for most major golf titles on the PGA Tour.
Woods’ victory at the 2019 Masters pushed him to 15 career majors, but he hasn’t come close to another ever since.
Woods, who turned 48 years of age in December, is still courageously trying to fight through his plethora of injuries and remain on the tour as he nears his 50th birthday. Here’s hoping the illness is nothing serious, and that he’ll be ready for the 2024 Masters.
