‘He’s going to dominate’ – Source reveals Tiger’s new career goal…and it revolves around the Masters
Around 13 months ago, the 15-time Major winner was involved in a serious, almost career-ending car accident, but has recently been seen practicing with far more regularity.

Highlights of his time away from high-level competition include appearing, and finishing runners-up, alongside son Charlie, at the PNC Championship. He has also spent time watching the 13-year old improve through the junior ranks over the last six months, alongside some quality time with all his family.
As a recent inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame, Tiger has already been confirmed as going down in history, although as a winner of 82 PGA Tour events and 93 total worldwide, he probably didn’t require that further welcome accolade.
The 46-year-old has already pulled off a couple of ‘miracle’ victories at major championships – the first at the 2008 U.S Open, when overcoming a serious leg injury and an elongated play-off with Rocco Mediate and, in 2019, when returning from a fused back to win his fifth green jacket.
To do it once again would be a greater feat than either of those, but a member of his team confirmed to PEOPLE this was the target
“He’s aiming for the 2023 Masters Tournament, says a source. “And he has a new goal – to be the oldest winner at the Masters. Jack Nicklaus won when he was 46. Tiger will be 47 next year when he competes, and that’s the newest record he is going for. He’ll stop at nothing to accomplish it.”
They added: “Tiger was known for his focus before, but now he’s learned to focus through terrible pain. And now that the pain has mostly faded, that focus is still there. He’s going to be a force when he returns to the game. He’s going to dominate.”

Yes, Jack was 46 with that Masters win, but then he wasn’t plagued with injuries, either. Will Tiger even be able to walk the course? Quite a “puff” piece but an unrealistic expectation. I hope we don’t have to endure seeing Tiger being carted off to the parking lot again.

Meth is a dangerous drug that will ruin careers, especially journalism. Tiger will be darn lucky to even play again, let alone be competitive. He’s up against younger, longer, and stronger players who hasn’t been in car accidents recently.

It’s not impossible but highly improbable that Tiger will even win a regular Tour event let alone a major. The fields are too deep with young, fearless players. They don’t cower at the thought of Tiger on the leaderboard like his peers did during his heyday.

He can try if he wants to.
But, I would recommend he focus on getting well and rebuilding his strength, and then land with a bang in the Champions Tour in 2025.
If he works on getting well, he could still play some PGA Tour events upon his return.

Would love to see Tiger win again,however, it’s unlikely he can just show up four or five times a year and take down the top players in the world who are fit,tour hardened and in competition form. I would hate to see him embarrassing himself and his legacy.Like hearing an aging vocalist or other veteran way past their prime. TV ratings go would be great though.

It’s Tiger, so I wouldn’t bet against that. Phil won a major at 51. Good luck with that.
