One has to expect that Tiger is feeling a little jealous and frustrated after his recent accident which has muddied his golf future. Everyone expected and still expects Tiger to break all of the records, including the oldest major. Woods’ last Major Victory came at the 2019 Masters when he was 43 years old.
