When Tiger Woods fell ill early in the second round of the Genesis Invitational 10 days ago, his journey from the seventh tee to the clubhouse was completely re-routed due to the official’s golf bug.Some nasty stops. . and Woods looked distressed and the Sky Sports booth circled the commentators, guessing and speculating and expressing their consternation in tones that would be useful at a state funeral.Has his back worked again? Could it be his ankle? They watched replays of his final tee shot on the seventh, which found the middle of the fairway, and detected no flicker in his swing.It soon became clear that Woods was ill. In the clubhouse, he was “treated with an IV bag” for dehydration. He suffered from vertigo on the golf course. He had a fever during the night. If Woods were a little younger, all of this could be done with a spoonful of Calpol, but age is a complicating factor for all of us..
Several reporters waited in the parking lot for two hours, hoping to catch a glimpse or perhaps a word from Woods. Based on the usual dialogue, the players came out of the locker room to ask the reporters what they heard.While the reporters were waiting for the vigil, two firefighters and an ambulance with special emergency personnel arrived. Consider the world’s crises, ranging from the massacre of a middle-aged man with a fever. Woods was involved in two serious traffic accidents, both of which changed his life significantly; this time he had a fever.”Everyone present, including his fellow players,
was amazed at his condition,” the PGA Tour website stated gravely. – A few minutes passed before the empty urn was loaded into the ambulance and all three ambulances drove off..Watching the final round of the PGA Tour on Sunday night, you could defend the rest of the field against him and at least feel something. How does it feel now? Who is the best player in the world? What do you think of him? Ambivalence? Do you still watch Sunday nights?Since the turn of the decade, the top six players in the world rankings have rotated through: Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler. Three of them —
Koepka, Johnson and Rahm — now play on the LIV Tour, where no world ranking points are available.Remember that Thomas dropped to 22nd in the world, McIlroy is a known cocktail. of flashing and shaking. and Scottie Scheffler, the current world No. 1, hasn’t won a full-court event since the Players Championship in March, and his craft has gotten so sick that he’s ranked in the top 100 in strokes gained.Week in and week out , Scheffler’s all-star long game puts him in contention just by accident after having to sabotage his misses on the greens. No one would have thought to sympathize with the world No. 1 when Woods was at the top, but Scheffler is a nice guy. It seems strange though..
