Tiger Woods has said he is committed to keep playing professional golf, aiming to win as long as he can. He made this decision after Colin Montgomerie, who has won 31 times on the European Tour, suggested Woods seemed less excited during the recent U.S. Open at Pinehurst, where he missed the cut by two strokes. Despite this setback, Woods, who has won 15 major tournaments, is determined to succeed. He talked to reporters before The Open tournament, saying he could keep playing until he turns 60, contrasting his view with Montgomerie’s.

Woods has been careful with his tournament schedule because of various injuries. Now, he is preparing to return to Royal Troon after 20 years. His past wins at The Open in 2000, 2005, and 2006 show he is ready for a comeback. Thinking about the upcoming tournament, Woods remembered playing practice rounds with Tom Weiskopf and how they talked about strategies and had friendly competition. This shows the friendship and competitive spirit in professional golf. The tournament at Royal Troon is important for Woods as he aims for greatness despite facing challenges. His determination to compete at the highest level shows his enduring love for the sport and belief in his ability to achieve more success.
