[Golf Topic] "Can I Play Golf Again?"... Woods Remains Silent

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…‘Silent response (默默不答)’.

This is the mindset of the ‘Golf Emperor’ Tiger Woods (USA, photo). In an interview with Golf Digest USA on the 28th (Korean time), he said, "Because I have had many injuries, I am somewhat familiar with rehabilitation, but this is the most painful experience I have ever had." When asked whether he expects to play golf again, he did not answer. Instead, he said, "I am busy receiving physical therapy every day" and "My current task is to walk on my own."

In February, while driving in Los Angeles, California, USA, he was involved in an accident where his car overturned, severely injuring his leg. He underwent surgery immediately and has been receiving treatment and rehabilitation at his home in Florida since March. Although three months have already passed, he is still using crutches. At the time, his right leg’s shin and calf bones were shattered, making it difficult to predict when he will return to the field.

Last month, Woods shared a photo with his dog. He said, "Maybe because walking with crutches counts as exercise, when I see that photo, my shoulders look much bigger." He was also spotted moving by cart while visiting his son Charlie’s junior tournament venue. In recently released photos, the brace on his right leg appears lighter. He expressed gratitude, saying, "I am greatly encouraged by the many cheers not only from the golf community but also from people unrelated to golf."
