What Tiger said when appearing in the group of golfers who dropped most miserably this year (video)
At the beginning of 2021, Woods’ goal is still his 16th major championship and his 83rd PGA Tour title.
At that time, many experts predicted that Woods would participate in the Farmers Insurance Open (January 23 – 26).
It is Woods’ favorite event with 17 seasons of participation.
At Torrey Pines, Woods has won 7 times (including 4 consecutive times from 2005 – 2008, most recently in 2013). Woods also won the 2008 US Open here.
However, Woods has undergone his fifth back surgery.
This was announced on January 19, 2021. However, it was later announced that the surgery took place on December 23, 2020.

At the same time, Woods also announced that he would not compete at the Farmers Insurance Open and the Genesis Invitational…
In the last days of 2021, Tiger Woods attended the PNC Championship with his son Charlie, but it was a performance tournament for famous father-son pairs in golf, not a tournament for ranking. rank of golfers.
Tiger Woods is still unclear about the future: “I’m not at the level I want right now. I can’t compete with the top golfers right now. It will take a lot of effort and time for me to feel like I can capable of competing with high-level athletes.”
While there are people who have fallen dramatically in rankings, there are also athletes who have been recognized for their strong rankings growth over the past year.
The most famous of these is Jordan Spieth. Once the number one golfer in the world, Jordan Spieth suddenly lost his form surprisingly, falling to 92nd position in the world in 2020, then gradually rose.
According to statistics, in 2021, Jordan Spieth increased 68 places, from 82nd to 14th in the world, or a ranking increase rate of 82.93%.
Jordan Spieth said: “I think I learned a lot about patience. I spent a year struggling to find myself again. To become a good golfer again, I had to force myself into shape.” .
Also highly appreciated for his growth rate like Jordan Spieth is Sam Burns. This American golfer made a breakthrough from outside the top 150 to close to the top 10. Specifically, Sam Burns increased 143 places, from 154th to 11th in the world, before 2021 ended (ranking increase rate is 92 ,eighty six%).
The reason Sam Burns rose so strongly is because he won two tournaments on the PGA Tour, including the Valspar Championship and the Sanderson Farms Championship.
Sam Burns was not on the US team list for the Ryder Cup last September, but he will be at the President Cup next year.
