Tiger Woods’ actions always attract various reactions, sometimes good while other times not so good. Golf.com recently tweeted a picture of Tiger Woods driving a golf cart during the Hero World Challenge. His son Charlie could be seen sitting in the back.
Effortlessly cool. https://t.co/sdwGxwFhjl
The picture attracted several reactions. Many fans reacted differently to the picture. While some were concerned about his right foot, few were of the opinion that his cap-wearing style wasn't suiting him.
One fan was concerned about the legend driving that cart
@GOLF_com Should he be driving that cart?
A user said that Woods was trying too hard to look "effortlessly cool."
@GOLF_com The opposite. He is trying way too hard. He looks like Billy Madison showing up to HS blasting music to be hip and they all laugh at him.
Then there were users trying to find about the woman beside him
@GOLF_com Who is in the passenger seat? New friend or therapist?
@GOLF_com Who. Is the woman
There were questions about his cap-wearing style as well.
@GOLF_com Backwards cap is only cool if you're under 25.
@GOLF_com He’s approaching 50 and wearing a hat like that
Tiger hasn't been on top of his fitness for quite a while. He was scheduled to play in the Hero Challenge last week but had to withdraw as he has still not recovered from the plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Plantar fasciitis can cause severe pain in heels and Tiger is still feeling pain while walking, which can worsen the injury or foot condition.
Despite the inability to walk properly, Tiger Woods has been adamant in his stance of not using a golf cart in PGA Tour sanctioned events.
"On the PGA Tour, no. On the sanctioned events where it’s allowed? Yes. Which is the Champions Tour, the PNC, things of that nature”, said Woods in Hero World Challenge press conference last week.
Woods stated that there was no problem with his shot-making ability or hitting power, but was still not able to walk properly.
Tiger Woods' near schedule
Tiger Woods will be playing two events this month as both allow the use of golf carts.
"The PNC will be a very easy week. Charlie will just hit all the shots, and I'll just get the putts out of the hole, so pretty easy there. But other than that, in The Match, we're flying in carts,” Tiger explained in his interaction with.
Tiger Woods is slated to play Capital One's The Match at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida on December 10. He will team up with his best friend and current World No.1 Rory McIlory. They will play against the American duo and close friends Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.
The Match has so far raised $33 million in the past six editions for charity.The Match will be a 12 hole event. Turner sports will produce the match. TNT will broadcast the match with simulcasts on TBS, TruTv and HLN.
The next event on Tiger's schedule is the PNC Championship, where he will be playing alongside his son Charlie. The PNC Championship is scheduled for December 15 to December 18 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Florida.
There are 20 teams with two players in each team competing for the prize money of $200,000 and the Willie Park Trophy. The tournament's prize purse is $1,085,000. The likes of Nelly Korda, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Vijay Singh will also feature in this father-son tournament.
