With the US Open right around the corner, all eyes are on golf’s biggest names. 

And as has been the case for over two decades, no player will be in the spotlight more than Tiger Woods. 

The 48-year-old will be teeing it up at Pinehurst this week, hoping to add a 16th major trophy to his impressive collection.

But as much as golf fanatics across the globe want to see the GOAT win this week, we’re all aware of the unfortunate realities of his weakened game and body. 

Since his horrifying February 2021 car crash which left him lucky to be alive, 

Tiger has withdrawn during 3 of his 9 tournaments post-accident (2 due to injury and 1 due to illness) and missed a slew of cuts. 

His game unfortunately just doesn’t have all the pieces put back together yet. 

Since the 2022 Masters (his first event post-crash), Tiger’s best finish in a full field was his tie for 45th at the 2023 Genesis Invitational.

Given the state of his body, the natural conclusion is that Tiger just can’t produce the power necessary to keep up with the young guys anymore. But is that true? I’ve crunched all the numbers, and the statistics prove that this assumption isn’t correct. The problem with Tiger’s game is likely a lot different than you’d think.

First, some quick housekeeping: When I refer to Tiger “before the crash” in this report, I will specifically be referring to the 2019, 2020 and 2021 seasons. Comparing what Tiger was doing in the early 2000s, before his various back surgeries, would be comparing apples to oranges.
