He has been obsessed with the sport since the age of 8 and currently plays at West Byfleet Golf Club in Surrey, where his handicap index floats anywhere between 2-6. The golf legend, 46, required emergency surgery after suffering a fractured leg and shattered ankle in a horrific car accident in California.

He has played 35 of our Top 100 golf courses, with his favourites being both Sunningdales, Woodhall Spa, Old Head and Turnberry. TIGER WOODS could at least see the funny side, as he continued recuperating at home following the horror crash that left him with serious injuries last year. He covered the 2022 Masters from Augusta National as well as four Open Championships on-site including the 150th at St Andrews. Elliott has interviewed some huge names in the golf world including Sergio Garcia, Thomas Bjorn, Bernd Wiesberger and Scotty Cameron as well as a number of professionals on the DP World and PGA Tours. He currently manages the Golf Monthly news, features, courses and travel sections as well as our large Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. We'll see him at his own Hero World Challenge tournament in December and it may be there where we next see him tee it up.Įlliott Heath is our Senior Staff Writer and has been with Golf Monthly since early 2016 after graduating with a degree in Sports Journalism.

They understand what golf's all about and what it takes to be an Open champion. And just the collective warmth and understanding. I was kind of feeling that way there at the end.

Coming after an opening round of 73, it meant Woods missed the cut in consecutive PGA Tour events for the first time in his career having also gone home on. And the fans, the ovation and the warmth, it was an unbelievable feeling. "So to me it felt like this might have been my last British Open here at St Andrews. "I've been coming here since 1995, and I don't know when - I think the next one comes around in what, 2030 - and I don't know if I will be physically able to play by then," Woods said. He'll be 54-years-old by the time July 2030 rolls around and says he doesn't know if his body will allow him to be able to tee it up.
