Jack Nicklaus believes Tiger Woods has his sights set on playing on the seniors tour in the coming years, despite adopting a limited schedule for his golfing comeback. Woods made his tournament return at the Genesis Invitational last month and impressively made the cut at Riviera.
But he has not entered the PGA Tour’s flagship event, The Players Championship, at TPC Sawgrass next week, and is not expected to compete again until the Masters next month. Woods, 47, continues to suffer from plantar fasciitis in his right foot and the damage done in his horrific February 2021 car crash means he will never make regular tournament appearances again.
However, his move into effective semi-retirement has not diminished his insatiable desire to win more big tournaments. The 15-time major champion struggles with his mobility but there were more than enough signs that his golf was still in good shape in his T45 finish last month.
And Nicklaus, the only man to hold more major titles than Woods, insists that his fellow golf icon is still keen to play into his fifties and could leave the PGA Tour for the Champions Tour seniors circuit when eligible in three years time.
