The new Tiger Woods manages his health more than his game - TSN.ca

That was Tiger Woods in his red shirt on Sunday at the Masters. That was Tiger Woods slipping on the green jacket.The evidence has less to do with how he plays — still plenty good to beat the best in the world on the biggest stage — and more to do with how often he plays.

There were not many options. Woods has not played the week after the U.S. Open since 2003. Instead of having the Quicken Loans National, which his foundation ran, the tour offered two new events in Detroit and Minnesota. The only time Woods has played a week before the British Open was in 1995, when he was still in college. He played the Scottish Open at Carnoustie ahead of the British Open at St. Andrews.

"If you're serious about winning The Open, you've got to be playing tournament golf at least before it," Harrington said."You'd rather be playing links golf and being in a tournament than just on your own going into it."In his younger days, Woods came over to Ireland with Mark O'Meara for a mix of links golf and fishing, either at Portmarnock or Royal County Down, and sometimes to the south in Waterville.

"I was always mightily impressed when Tiger Woods would play in a major without playing the week before," Harrington said."I'd be a basket case if I didn't play the week before. Different personalities. Completely different."
