goif - Tiger Woods before British Open: No thought of retirement
Tiger Woods thinks despite lacking success he will not retire from Golf. "I will keep playing as long as I can and I have the feeling that I can still win this tournament", said the now 48-year-old superstar from California at a press conference before the 152nd British Open at Royal Troon in Scotland. The 15-time Major winner countered a suggestion from Scottish Golf legend Colin Montgomerie (61), who had advised Woods to retire from golf.

After numerous surgeries and the severe car accident in February 2021, where he fractured his right leg multiple times, he only participates in select tournaments.
