Tiger Woods is playing all four majors for the first time since 2019, sparking both hope and concern. While he made his 24th consecutive cut at the Masters, subsequent performances at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open fell short.

Colin Montgomerie openly criticized Woods in a Times of London interview, questioning why he still competes. Woods, however, relishes the chance to rebut such criticism, emphasizing his right to compete as a past champion.

Despite physical and competitive challenges, Woods’ enduring appeal is undeniable. His presence still commands the largest crowds and loudest cheers, reminding everyone of his unparalleled legacy.
