Tiger Woods’ current state sparks fears of 'final nail in the coffin'

Tiger Woods’s recent appearance has stirred worries among his fans as he looks like a completely different person.

For those unaware, the 50-year-old American professional golfer posted a prerecorded video on his social media, in which he congratulated his contemporary Notah Begay, for being honored with the prestigious Payne Stewart Award for his contributions to the game.

Woods’ video soon started making waves on the internet, as many of his fans showed concerns over his worn-out look.

An insider close to Woods told Radar Online that he has been going through depression after facing some extreme personal tragedies, such as the breast cancer diagnosis of his girlfriend Vanessa Trump and his recent DUI arrest.

“He's not exercising anymore because he can't, and he's letting himself go to h*****,” the source said. “He's just depressed because he can't play competitively anymore. He's effectively given up. He's falling apart physically.”

Woods is now being forced to announce his retirement from the upcoming PGA Tour, which is adding fuel to his miserable life as he cannot imagine himself away from the very sport he has been playing since his childhood.

The five-time Masters champ’s friends “are fearing the guy has been subjected to so much pressure over the past 10 years this could be the final nail in his coffin – literally.”

"He was raised since the age of 3 to be a golfer and now he can't even play professionally. Mentally – and physically – he's already fallen apart,” the insider claimed.

It is pertinent to mention that Tiger Woods was taken into custody for driving under the influence after a rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on March 27, 2026.
