August 22, 2013. World’s number one golfer, Tiger Woods has stiff neck and back as he walks into the Barclays for the FedEx Cup playoffs today. It could be assigned to lack of sleep or the mental stress he goes to bed with.
Well, what tiger can best explain is, “It was stiff this morning after a soft bed, and it was just one of those things — sleeping in hotels — I didn’t want to push it,” Woods said.
For some one, who is under constant scrutiny, it is difficult to convince.
Woods played the front nine of Wednesday’s pro-am, but didn’t hit a full shot on the back nine due to stiffness.
Tiger, at the PGA Championship two weeks ago, stretched throughout the round but insisted that today’s back issues weren’t related.
Being back at Barclays at Liberty National for the third time is welcome sight for Woods
“They made some really nice, positive improvements,” Woods said.
Woods in 2009, finished second at Barclays. He went on to win his second FedEx Cup title that year. He also enters this year’s Playoffs having won five times this season. On being asked about his expectations from FedEx Cup this year,
“My standards, it’s a great year,” He said with a smile.
For now, he has to arrange for a good night’s sleep so the week grows even more interesting.
