Tiger's family has been very supportive and has backed him in every situation. On the 72nd hole, we saw Tiger’s mother, son Charlie, daughter Sam, and girlfriend Erica. They cheered and enjoyed this moment as Woods received a huge standing ovation on the 18th green.
“I mean, nothing ever surprises me about him,” said his girlfriend Erica. “But he’d just worked so hard to be here, and that was the one thing I knew. Once he got here, he wasn’t going to go home."
Talking about the Augusta National, Erica said, “This feels like a home game for him. This has been his home turf for so long. Everybody around the club knows him. They know us now too."
With changed conditions and a trickier atmosphere to play golf, Tiger struggled his way in the second and third rounds. But more than his performance, everyone was elated to see him back competing at Augusta National. And the progress that he has made over the year or so has been phenomenal.
Tiger confirmed that he will be competing at the Open Championship. However, he still has revealed nothing about competing at the U.S. Open or PGA Championship.
