Tiger Woods will not be spending the weekend in Scotland after missing the cut at the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon.
Instead, the 15-time major winner told reporters on Friday that he plans to catch a flight to Detroit to join his son, Charlie, ahead of this week’s U.S. Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills.
Woods, who finished the first two rounds of the 152nd Open Championship at 14-over par, isn’t expected to play again competitively until December’s Hero World Challenge.
Whenever he does tee it up next, though, it’s a safe bet that fans will get to see almost every one of his shots – regardless of his form that week.
On Friday following Woods’ third consecutive missed cut at a major,
Dan Patrick wondered if any other sport would continue featuring an athlete playing at the level Tiger has over the past few years.
“Now we watch him and every shot is on TV,” Patrick began. “Can you think, in any other sport, where somebody was struggling but we show every single shot?”
Woods will almost certainly continue to be the biggest draw at any tournament he attends moving forward.
Does his current form warrant the coverage he’s receiving, though?
“It’s not fair to the other golfers and it might not be fair to Tiger, as well,” Patrick continued. “I wish that they sort of checked in with him periodically… his play doesn’t warrant the coverage.”
Woods, 48, reportedly plans to take some time away from competitive golf before returning in December for The Hero World Challenge and PNC Championship.
