“Granted, it’s a pretty nice house I’ve built for myself, but I hadn’t been able to do the one thing I love to do: I love to go outside and just be outside,” he shared. “Sometimes I just crutch and lay on the grass for an hour because I want to be outside.”
And when he’s not relaxing, Tiger said that he’s training for the occasional PGA Tournament, with the understanding that he will never be able to return to golf “full time ever again.”
The 45-year-old athlete shared, “I think that’s how I’m going to have to play it from now on. It’s an unfortunate reality, but it’s my reality. And I understand it, and I accept it.”
Tiger acknowledged that he’s come back from similarly serious injuries and won the 2019 Masters, but remarked that it’s not possible this time around: “I don’t think that’s a realistic expectation of me.”
