[Kim Maengnyeong's Golf English Conversation] "Missing the Masters Without Woods"
Tiger Woods is seen cheering while wearing the green jacket immediately after winning the 2019 Masters.
View original imageIt has been a month since the car rollover accident of 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA).
Fans of Woods, as well as tour players worldwide, are wishing him a speedy recovery. On the PGA Tour, Woods' trademark 'black and red fashion' has even appeared. On the final day, black pants with a red shirt. It is even more disappointing as Woods will not participate in next month's Masters. It is the place where he reached a total of 81 wins, including 15 major victories in 2019. The biggest draw for the organizers and media has disappeared.
At that time, Woods wore the 'Green Jacket' for the first time in 14 years since 2005. It was his fifth Masters win overall, ranking second in most wins after Jack Nicklaus (USA, 6 wins). In October at the Zozo Championship, he achieved his 82nd PGA Tour win, tying the record with Sam Snead (USA). Following this accident, encouragement for Woods has poured in. America's top instructor Butch Harmon expressed, "Above all, his remarkable mental strength stands out," showing his expectations.
Tom Watson (USA) said, "It is amazing that Woods is not affected by stress, tension, or anxiety," adding his support that "he will rise again." Woods has shared meaningful thoughts over time. "Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter."
"I’m trying as hard as can, and sometimes don’t go my way, and that’s the way things go," "I love to compete. That’s the essence of who I am," and "You have to look at the past in order to learn from it and move on," among others.
