To not have Tiger Woods playing here is disappointing – Scottie
Even after announcing earlier that he will be part of the Hero World Challenge this year, 15-time Major Champion, Tiger Woods got ruled out just before the start of the event due to a foot injury. Not having him playing was not only disappointing for his fans, but also for those participating. Commenting on the same, Scottie Scheffler said,“It's disappointing not to have Tiger playing here; we all know Tiger wanted to be here, it's more disappointing for him.”
The former world number 1, who won his first Major at the Augusta Masters in April 2022, shared his thoughts on the win saying, “I think everybody dreams of winning at Majors. I think for the ones growing up in the United States, that's most important to us. Augusta is one you always want to win.”
