Tiger Woods has is dealing with yet another setback as he announced that he suffered an Achilles rupture. With a long rehab ahead of him, Woods' golf future is once again in doubt. But for one former NFL player, it's time for him to make a tough decision.

Taking to X on Tuesday, ESPN analysts and former NFL defensive lineman Booger McFarland urged Tiger to call it a career. He said that it may be time to Tiger to "enjoy your kids" and that he'd cherish all of the wins he got to see him win.

"It’s not our place to tell him what to do however I hope enough is enough Body has been thru a lot. Enjoy your kids. We will cherish all 82 of the wins and in a lot of eyes He is the greatest to ever touch a club," McFarland wrote.

The injuries Tiger has suffered through the years have already limited him to essentially a handful of golf events per year. And even those have been agonizing for him to prepare for.

It really might be time for Woods to hang it up if only to preserve his long-term health. But it's his decision and no one else's.

Do you agree with Booger McFarland?
