DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Tiger Woods used his old refrain Wednesday, just as he has hundreds of times over the last two decades. He’s here at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic to win, he wouldn’t be here if he didn’t think he could.
But after a missed cut last week at the Farmers Insurance Open and two more PGA Tour events coming in the next three weeks, this is the place where Woods needs to make the cut. He needs to show progress. He knows that.
“Over the course of my career, I have been less successful at winning golf tournaments than winning tournaments, but the goal is to win, and that doesn’t change,” Woods said Wednesday.
