Tiger Woods' 'What's In The Bag': Golfer's bag for The Match 2022 revealed
Tiger Woods returned to play at The Match on Saturday, 10 December. He teamed up with current World No. 1 Rory McIlroy to play against Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, who made their debuts at the tournament. However, he could not clinch the trophy.
Justin and Jordan played remarkably well and dominated the game from the beginning. Their scores on the second, third, and fourth holes helped them defeat Woods and McIlroy with an amazing shot on the 10th hole.
Tiger Woods recently changed his golf ball ahead of the Match and the PNC Championship. He used to play with a B XS, but just before the tournament, the golfer decided to experiment with playing with the B X model ball.
Speaking about his experiment, Woods said:
"The Tour B XS is a great golf ball, the feet, and spin I've preferred. Right now, though, I'm experimenting with the Tour B X to get a little more pop. Based on the situation, I have different preferences, and it's great that Bridgestone has multiple balls right off the shelf that I can play."
Woods is well known for selecting the best golf gear for himself.
