Tiger Woods has had one of the most gracious careers in the golf world. Throughout his close to 3-decade-long journey, arguably the greatest golfer of all time has possibly achieved every feat a golfer can think of. However, despite all the success, he is yet to accomplish one of his lifelong goals.

Woods last played in a pro tournament in July at the Open Championship. Ever since then, he has pulled back from making an appearance on a golf course. However, recently, he headed to Pebble Beach, to casually polish his skills at his self-designed par-3 golf course, The Hay. Giving a glimpse of his still-on-point shots, the 15-time major championship indulged in a conversation with the fans, opening up about a goal yet to be achieved at the historic St. Andrews.

The Old Course at St. Andrews has, for a long time, been one of the most iconic courses in golf. Reportedly the oldest golf course in the world, St. Andrews carries a monumental history with it. However, despite its prominence, the course has had a fact that has remained unknown for years.

Indulging in a conversation with a young fan, Woods, preparing himself for his next shot at the Hay, revealed the unknown fact to the world. “The neat thing about it that people don’t realize, the golf course was designed to play backwards, ” he said. “So there’s seven double greens, so you can play from one to 17, two to 16, three to 15.”

Throughout his journey as a pro, Woods has played numerous Open Championships in St. Andrews. However, despite being the most eminent name in the golf world, he is yet to play the course backward. Going ahead in the conversation, he admitted, “They do that one time a year, and I’ve never gotten a chance to do that, so that’s one of my goals.”

While Woods hopes to play the Old Course backward, his fans hope to see him back on the competitive ground soon. Even though Woods’ comeback tournament remains a question, it is likely that the former World No. 1 makes a comeback at either Hero World Challenge or the PNC Championship.
