Tiger Woods Concedes the Spotlight. ‘I’ve Had a Pretty Good Run.’

Best known for willing himself to victory, the winner of 15 major championships said he had no desire to do what would be necessary to win another on his surgically rebuilt right leg.

It was 15 minutes into his first public appearance since a terrifying car crash in February that Tiger Woods, assessing an uncertain future and a celebrated past, took the measure of his career.

“I got that last major,” a wistful Woods said on Tuesday, recalling his stunning 2019 victory at the Masters Tournament, golf’s most watched event, at age 43.

Ascending to a similar pinnacle in golf, however, is no longer foremost in Woods’s plans.
