TIGERWOODS was overcome with emotion as he walked down St Andrews' 18th hole fairway.

The 46-year old admitted that he doesn't know if "physically able" to play when The Open takes place at the famous course in 2030.

As he was making his way towards the 18th green, the crowd stood to give him a standing ovation.

Woods will not make the cut for the weekend, having finished on +9 after 36 holes.

As he approached the end of the historic course, Woods was visibly emotional and wiped his tears away.

Woods almost lost his leg in a terrible car accident in February 2021. He still walks with a limp.

The 15-time major winner acknowledged that his injuries could prevent him playing when The Open returns in St Andrews in 8 years.

Woods spoke to Sky Sports following what might have been his final round of the course.

"I have been coming to St. Andrews since 1995. I believe the next one will come around in 2030. I don't know how physically I will be able to play by then so it felt like this would be my last time playing at St. Andrews.

"I understood what Jack (Nicklaus), Arnold (Palmer), felt in the past, and I felt that same way.

They understand the game of golf and what it takes for an Open champion.

"I was lucky enough to win twice here - it was emotional because I don’t know if I will be able play when it comes back.
