On this appearance, the golf world was sincerely waited: On the side of his Border Collie's bug superstar Tiger Woods was in a good mood for the first major interview after the heavy car accident before nine months ago. With a secure gear, the 15-color Major winner entered steel blue shirt and black pants the golf training room of his house in Jupiter Island in Florida. In the over 30-minute online interview with Golf Digest, the 45-year-old Californian chatted with the GolfExpertin and former professional player Henri Kodak over his recovery process and a possible comeback.

With a view to the healing course of his right leg, Woods now focuses on a part-time employment on the PGA Tour. However, the GolfS tar does not believe in a complete return to the lucrative US tour. I think something realistic is, one day, is one day to play on the tour — never full time — but to pick, the man betrayed, who was in his extraordinary career 683 weeks the number one in the world.

Selected tournaments — Mount Everest comparison

Only last week Woods with a short video clip, which shows him on a golf course when beating, provided for excitement and the hope of a comeback nourished. In the future he will choose a few tournaments and prepare themselves. I think, so I'll have to play from now. That's an unfortunate reality, but it's my reality. I understand that, and I accept that.

The five-time Masters winners emphasized in the interview, he no longer had to win tournaments to have a good life. After his penultimate surgery on his back, he had to climb the Mount Everest for another time. I had to, and I did it, he said with a view of the victory at the Masters 2019. This time I do not have the body anymore To climb Mount Everest and that's okay, Woods said. He could still play golf when his leg was okay again and participate in tournaments. But as far as the re-inclusion of the mountain is concerned and coming up, I do not think that is a realistic expectation to me.

Only playing is not his thing

But who knows the ambitious Californian, knows just to play with a tournament, is not his thing. So far, Woods wanted every tournament where he stepped to the tee. He gained 82 victories on the US tour — as many as the US legend Sam Snead. So only a triumph is missing to record.

But everything depends on the recovery of his leg and the stability of the backwards over the years. Every day he trains the deficits that have built up since the accident. Woods was strayed from the street on February 23 in Los Angeles, had overturned several times and suffered complicated fractures on the right leg. He was three weeks in the hospital and thereafter another three months in a hospital at home in Florida, told Woods.

In the entire nine months he set up in baby steps again and again new, small goals. But he still had a long way to go until his complete recovery, he said, I'm not even half the way.
