Tiger Woods suffered another disappointing was forced to pull out of The Genesis Invitational due to an illness. It was yet another unfortunate setback for Woods as he tries to extend his career, but it sounds like the legendary golfer is ready to retire, but doesn’t feel like he can.
According to a report from The Daily Mail, Tiger Woods would “love to” retire, but does not feel like he is able to due to his business obligations to promote his brand.
“If Tiger could retire, he would,” a source told The Daily Mail.
“His body is beat up but, for his brand, he still has to make and keep appearances and make a go at it.
“After his car accident, he thought that was it. There was almost an amputation in play, so to be back even at all is sort of a miracle.
“Now with this recent illness that had him bow out of the latest tournament, that is unfortunate, but he will be back because he has to support his new brand Sun Day Red, and everything else in his world.
“He’ll be back even though he would love nothing more than to retire.”
Obviously, it’s pretty horrible news that he feels trapped into continuing to play golf even though he wants to retire, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Unfortunately, Tiger is paying the price for driving 87 MPH in LA and not slowing for a curve. I do feel sorry for him because that's a hard way to learn that our actions can affect our futures.

A longer retirement phase than Murray. I don't care. They are physically destroying themselves. Is there a psychiatric term for this?
