Tiger Woods broke down in tears while on the golf course Friday morning, July 15
Woods made it a goal to return to St. Andrews this year for the British Open after badly injuring his leg in a car crash in February 2021.
Following his return, he struggled throughout the first two days of the tournament, and did not qualify for weekend play.
So, on his last hole of his second round on Friday, July 15, he received a massive ovation from the crowd in the stands and this made him emotional.

"I don't know if I'll be physically able to play another British Open here at St. Andrews," said the 46-year-old, who's previously won two Opens at the famous course. "I certainly feel like I'll be able to play more British Opens. But, I don't know if I'll be around when it comes back around here."
