PGA star makes Woods feelings clear on Mount | Golf News

Billy Horschel has used X to voice his opinion on a “Mount Rushmore” record of the best athletes he is witnessed this century on social media.

Jon Heyman, a baseball columnist and insider at MLB Network, posted on social media after Novak Djokovic defeated Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open. “Novak Djokovic is on the Mount Rushmore of athletes this century. Brady, LeBron, Ohtani. And don’t @ me,” wrote Heyman on X.

Horschel replied promptly to advocate for the golf neighborhood and offer followers an different viewpoint. “A guy by the name of Tiger would like a word,” said Horschel.

Woods is a 15-time major champion and 82-time PGA Tour winner, and just about every golf fanatic would contend that Woods reworked the game, inspiring youthful generations when he captured the Masters at just 21 years previous in 1997.

The iconic golfer – who celebrated his fiftieth birthday in December – is at the moment out of motion due to a back injury, but stays optimistic about an eventual comeback.

“It’s been slow,” Woods said. “Not able to do much on a disk replacement to let it set; can’t really do much. Now, we got the OK to start cranking up a little bit in the gym, started strengthening and started doing a little bit more of the rotational component that I haven’t been able to do, just letting the disk kind of set.”

Woods famous that this is not his first expertise with such challenges, as the 15-time major champion has endured over 30 accidents throughout his profession.

“Unfortunately, I’ve been through this rehab process before,” Woods said. “It’s just step by step. Once I get a feel for practicing, exploding, playing, the recovery process, then I can assess where I’m going to play and how much I’ll play.”

Woods qualifies for the PGA Tour Champions, and while many anticipate his comeback, the legend talked about he would possibly take part in 25 occasions across both Tours.

When Woods was questioned about his plans to compete in senior tournaments in 2026, he quipped that he would possible participate in 25 occasions on both tours.

“I think that should cover most of the year, right?” Woods said. “No, I’m just looking forward to just [getting] back to playing again. Let me do that, and then I’ll kind of figure out what the schedule is going to be. I’m a ways away from that part of it and that type of decision, that type of commitment level.”
