Jack Nicklaus unsure of Tiger Woods future after his club-kicking incident at Masters
Tiger Woods’ reckless club-kicking incident at the 76th Masters has triggered a huge uproar among the golf critics and analysts and few of the former golfers have gone over to condemn the former world number one in the harshest possible tone.
After former Ryder Cup Captain Paul Azinger’s scathing remarks for Woods, several other players of the past have landed a jab in an already crumbled reputation of the player.
Azinger went over to term Woods’ objectionable behaviour as an embarrassment to the game, to the membership at Augusta”.
He was speaking at Sirius XM Mad Dog Radio a few days after the Masters and said:
“I was really disappointed to see him carry on that way. And after he won Bay Hill, I thought, `Here we go again, this is going to be Tiger just kicking butt and taking names.' I don't know. I thought he acted like the south end of a northbound mule".
The former giant of the game, Jack Nicklaus when asked about his view over Woods’ controversial behaviour at the most revered courses in the world, he replied:
"I don't know what goes between his ears. His golf game and his golf swing looks pretty similar to what I've been looking at and he hits a lot of great shots. But you never know what's going on in somebody's head”.
Woods’ posted his lowest finish ever in the major event where he has gone over to win the title for no fewer than four times in his stellar career.
Hoping to make a turn with his resurging form and swing, Woods landed at the Augusta National in hopes to winning the title for the fifth time.
He finished for a joint 40th alongside his nemesis Rory McIlroy.
Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last month, providing ample evidence that the former world number one is back in the hunt again.
He has performed consistently well in the previous appearance since the closing sessions of the last year and was all set to clinch his first victory after a lapse of 30 months.
His careless club-kicking incident has thrown him back under the spotlight where he is again the favourite victim of the golf critics.
