Enjoy Woods at St Andrews... it could be our final Open farewell to a legend

- NICK DOUGHERTY

TIGER WOODS could make the historic 150th Open Championship his last.

That’s the view of leading pundit Nick Dougherty – who will be taking his son to St Andrews in the hope he’ll get to see the 15-time Major winner at close quarters.

Woods, 46, has suffered with back problems for over a decade, and a life-threatening car crash,which left him with severe injuries to his legs and ankles, has meant he has already ruled out a full-time return to the circuit.

And Dougherty, who will be presenting coverage of The Open for Sky Sports, fears Woods might choose this landmark occasion to take a final bow from a Major he has won three times.

Dougherty said: “I don’t have any background information on this, it’s just a hunch, nothing more – but I get the feeling it might be his last Open.

“We know guys sign off at the Open. I just can’t escape that feeling we might not see him over here again.
