Occasional Tour Caddy
Well as we all know he’s only gone and went and won the Masters again! After several failed surgeries and from a point where he can’t lift his kids or swing a club, he gets a fusion job on his back and 23 months later he’s Masters Champion. Just a stunning turn of events
But while his back is ‘fixed’ it’s not been fixed with Vibranium and the odds are that his back or something else will eventually give out, leaving him less able than he is now
Whether he has 100 tour standard golf swings left in him or 100,000 who knows
So he should soak up the success for a week but then what?
In his place I think it should be 1 or 2 and while I'm leaning towards 1 I would probably retire at the end of the season just to give myself the chance for one more tour win to tie the record. After all he's just spent 2 years getting back and I don't think he did that 'just' for an extra Masters title

So he should soak up the success for a week but then what?
- Retire right now, able to bow out at the top, knowing his back is in good shape as things stand
- Retire at the end of this season, in an attempt to get the PGA tour wins record
- Keep playing for several years and chasing the Majors record
- Something else?
