Shannon Sharpe offers bold take on Tiger Woods

By Chelena Goldman | Last updated 2/15/23

Golf fans from all over will tune in to the Genesis Invitational this weekend to get a look at Tiger Woods in his first official PGA-sanctioned event since the Open Championship last summer. Even though he is listed as a 125-1 long shot at BetMGM, many still hold out hope that Woods can claim his 83rd PGA victory and set the record for most PGA Tour wins.

That many not include Shannon Sharpe, who said on "Undisputed" Wednesday that he doesn't see another win in Woods' future.

"The competitiveness is always going to be there. That's never going to leave," Sharpe said to co-host Skip Bayless. "But I just don't see it."

Sharpe's reasoning, unsurprisingly, stems from the massive car crash Woods was in back in February 2021 that could have claimed his legs, if not also his life. Walking around the links has been a struggle for Woods in his return to the PGA circuit over the last year, and he has been relegated to talking a golf cart from hole to hole in order to give his ankle some relief.

A counterpoint to Sharpe's argument that Woods won't win another event is that the former Denver Broncos star TE didn't think he would win the Masters in 2019. Woods did, in fact, don the green jacket that year.

"Yeah, but he didn't wreck his lower body (in 2019). He didn't almost lose his life, and he damn sure didn't almost lose his leg before the Masters."

Woods only played in three events in 2022 as he gradually made his return from the car accident and dealt with how to nurse his injuries post-surgery. He placed 47th at the Masters, withdrew from the PGA Championship and missed the cut at the Open Championship.
