Tiger Woods risks a “suspension” for demonstrating his pitching ability by tossing it at fans. Why would he do that?
Tiger Woods demonstrated his throwing ability following his final practice round for the Masters on Tuesday.
In a video released by the NFL on Wednesday morning, a spectator raised his hands, ostensibly providing Woods a target to toss the golf ball after his round. The fan stood several yards away amid a sea of spectators.
Nonetheless, Woods cheerfully agreed, throwing the ball across to his aim.
Another man attempted to intercept the pass by jumping in front of it. The ball originally bounced off the target’s hands as those around them readied to collect a loose ball.
However, after a minor error, the ball fell to the intended catcher as the audience roared.
Woods will return to Augusta in search of his sixth green jacket. Following his outstanding practice rounds on Monday and Tuesday, the golf legend remained defiant despite severe health challenges.
‘If everything comes together, I believe I can get one more [Green Jacket],’ he remarked at a press conference.
Woods is 12 months removed from ankle surgery, which limited him to only 24 holes of competitive golf this year. He claimed to desire to build his way into contention gradually, but he admitted to physical issues four months after turning 48.
‘In terms of my physicality on certain strokes, every shot that isn’t on the tee box is a problem,’ he said at a news conference on Tuesday. “Once we start the hole, it’s a bit of a struggle.”
‘The body has things that spontaneously flare up. The training we have to undertake at home differs on a daily basis. Some days I feel great, and others not so much.
While accomplishing the feat will not be easy, Woods has a history of defying the odds in Augusta. Woods, 43, became the second-oldest golfer in history to win the Masters in 2019.
