Tiger Woods may never be the same again, and it seems like the legendary golfer has made his peace with that. Recovering and rehabilitating from his February 23 car crash, Woods shed some light on what the process has been like, and what he has realized for himself both as a person and as a golfer. Bob Harig of ESPN shares Woods' insights during the champion golfer's interview with Golf Digest:
“I don't have to compete and play against the best players in the world to have a great life,” he said. “After my back fusion, I had to climb Mount Everest one more time. I had to do it, and I did. This time around, I don't think I'll have the body to climb Mount Everest and that's OK. I can still participate in the game of golf. I can still, if my leg gets OK, I can still click off a tournament here or there. But as far as climbing the mountain again and getting all the way to the top, I don't think that's a realistic expectation of me.”
Woods, a winner of 18 World Golf Championships, has established quite the career for himself in the world of golf. While he might be limited to playing in a “tournament here or there,” Woods' presence will on the fairway will undoubtedly be a sorely missed one by both his fans and his competitors.
Regardless, Woods enters the twilight of his career as one of the most accomplished golfers in the history of the sport, and who knows, maybe he'll get to climb his Everest again.
