Tiger Woods, injury and farewell to the Augusta Masters: the future is unknown

AUGUSTA (GEORGIA) – The 23rd Masters ended sadly early, and who knows if last, though Tiger Woods. The last shots fired during the third lap interrupted on Saturday due to bad weather had highlighted all the suffering. On a semi-winter day, wrapped up to fight the cold, very insidious due to his run down physique, Tiger had dragged himself along with blatant difficulty, even struggling to move his steps, so much so that he lost blow after blow and slipped to last place. The siren that had announced the end of the game had been a release for him. The night brought the final decision, due to the exacerbation of the already manifested plantar fascia. His record was obtained in the morning, hitting the 23rd consecutive qualification. It was not possible to continue in those conditions. Now the questions about his future will thicken again. But even this Masters confirmed that, despite his proverbial tenacity, it is no longer possible for him to be competitive with his young heirs. The rite of his long farewell continues.
