Despite a poor finish at Augusta Tiger Woods vows to continue playing

 Golf icon Tiger Woods finished last place at the Masters but the 82-time PGA Tour champion plans to continue competing in the remaining majors of the year and is taking the Agusta National as an example of why he needs to continue playing.

The champion had really bad conditions on Thursday and Friday while he entered the weekend at +1, seven strokes behind Scottie Scheffler who won the tournament.

During the weekend, Tiger's body could not cut it, and had the worst round of 82 (+10) on Saturday and a 77 on Sunday to finish his 26th appearance at the Masters at 16-over.

Although Tiger had a few good moments during the Agusta Weekend as his 100th Masters round happened along with Neal Shiple who was overwhelmed by playing side by side with Woods, and retiring Verne Lundquist on No. 16 made him feel good as well.

After things got really bad, he mentioned that "It was a good week, It was a good week all around. I think that coming in here, not having played a full tournament in a very long time, it was a good fight on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately, it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to."

Woods was out of commission after he had a car accident in 2021 and withdrew from the Masters only after two rounds to undergo ankle surgery a few weeks later.

When elaborating on his performance he mentioned "This is a golf course I knew going into it, so I'm going to do my homework going forward at Pinehurst, Valhalla and Troon, but that's kind of the game plan," Woods said. "It's always nice coming back here because I know the golf course. I know how to play it. I can kind of simulate shots. Granted, it's never quite the same as getting out here and doing it."

Tiger also elaborated on what he needs to do to prepare for Valhalla "I just [need to] keep lifting, keep the motor going, keep the body moving, keep getting stronger, and keep progressing,". "Hopefully, the practice sessions will keep getting longer."
