Tiger will play some senior tour stuff.
Any chance to go out with Stricks, Fred….he will play in a couple majors.

 

Would Tiger be the first to win 4 different USGA championships?

 

Yes.
He already has the most total with 9, but four different ones would be a first.

 

Well, only two players have ever won the US Junior and the US Am -- Tiger and Nick Dunlap. So, yeah, he'd be the first. I haven't looked through the women's list though.

EDIT: To add Rose Zhang won the Girls' Junior and the U.S. Women's Am in the same year, so she'll have a conceivable chance of hitting that milestone once she gets to U.S. Senior Women's Open age. That's a ways off tho...

 

JoAnne Carner won the Junior, Amateur, and US Open.

 

If your business model revolves around a 48-year-old dude with a bad back and a leg that looks like raw hamburger playing golf, your business model might suck.

 

She still plays in the USWO too, but I doubt she adds that title at age 84.

 

Several of Tiger's fellow competitors on the PGA Tour have gone on the record as saying they believe he will play.

 

Tiger Woods was born six weeks after I was. The first time he’s in a senior tour field, I may as well plan on a mental health day from work. That’s going to hit me hard.

 

I'm about to turn 48 and have no issues with telling my coworkers that I'm playing the senior tees because, fuck, I'm almost there. (At least at our association age, USGA still sets it at 55).

 

IMHO you’re never too old to get better; I’m hitting the ball straighter and farther than when I was 30 at 60 and still playing off the blue tees. Keep on truckin’ guys, your peak nay be ahead of you!!
