Stephen A. Smith joins Shae Cornette, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, and Dan Orlovsky on First Take to discuss Tiger Woods' recent return to competitive golf, specifically his performance in the TGL Finals where Jupiter Links lost to Los Angeles Golf Club. During the segment, Smith expresses skepticism about Woods ever winning another major championship, citing physical limitations and the challenges of competing at the highest level after multiple injuries. He emphasizes that while Woods remains a legendary figure, the realities of age and recovery make a major victory unlikely.

The panel reflects on Woods’ legacy, current form, and the broader implications of his comeback. Despite acknowledging Woods’ resilience and influence on the sport, Smith maintains his stance that no additional major titles are probable.
