Recent years have not been the most favorable for the renowned golf icon Tiger Woods, particularly as he has entered the later stages of his career where time is becoming limited and opportunities are fleeting.Athletes in their 40s already face considerable challenges for success, and Woods’ journey has been further complicated by undergoing four back surgeries, with one occurring at the age of 41. This has led to an uncertain and unpredictable future for Woods.
However, as Woods celebrated his 43rd birthday recently, his prospects have never appeared more promising in years. Currently ranked as the 13th best golfer globally, Woods achieved this position after securing his 80th PGA Tour victory at the Tour Championship.
With some strong performances in the upcoming year, it is plausible to consider Woods regaining a position among the top 10 golfers worldwide for the first time since his hiatus over four years ago. Woods made a striking comeback on December 30, 2018.
The prospect of reaching the number one rank seems achievable, considering Woods’ current form. Clinching a victory that would elevate him to the top spot would be a remarkable feat, as noted by Hank Haney, Woods’ coach from 2004 to 2010, when Woods consistently ranked no lower than third during their collaboration.From starting his comeback trail, Woods has rapidly progressed. Nonetheless, he must heed the challenges faced by Jason Day, illustrating the arduous journey to the pinnacle of golf rankings.
