Tiger entered the tournament with just 24 holes of PGA golf under his belt this season. As he searches for his 6th green jacket, the seasoned golfer will have to overcome his pain and fatigue to continue.
“It means I have a chance going into the weekend. I’m here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament. I don’t know if they’re all going to finish today, but I’m done. I got my two rounds in. Just need some food and some caffeine, and I’ll be good to go,” Tiger said after the second round, according to Golf Digest.
