TROON, Scotland — People work their entire lives to retire to play golf. So, what do golfers do when they retire? It’s a facetious question because certainly they can enjoy the game, too.will only get louder in the aftermath of another missed cut at a major championship, his golf a sad shell of his former self.effectively made the second round a chance to see the 15-time major champion one more time this year.
Woods, 48, does not appear to be conceding anything. The idea that he should retire is somewhat ludicrous on its face. Woods has earned the right to compete in three of the four major championships via his previous victories.As a “lifetime’’ member of the PGA Tour with 20 or more wins, he can play any regular tour event he wants—and would get a sponsor’s invite if needed.
But Woods is nothing if not stubborn, and he made it clear that he won’t play again until December at the Hero. As for locally, how often will they get to see him again? Next year’s Open is at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. It’s going to Royal Birkdale in England in two years. Future venues have yet to be announced. Woods will be in his 50s the next time the Open returns to this part of the United Kingdom.
