It’s been a painful few months since the great Tiger Woods announced his withdrawal from the famed Masters Tournament. A nagging ankle concern, aggravated by harsh weather conditions, set him back at Augusta National despite confirming his ticket for the weekend.
Woods hasn’t been in the public eye since, with reports confirming that he has undergone fusion surgery to alleviate the pain. But the golf legend has been exclusively pictured entering a golf course. Is Tiger Woods ready to spark a comeback in professional golf?

The 47-year-old has been undergoing rehabilitation post-surgery, which made him unavailable for this year’s PGA Championship. However, with the U.S. Open merely weeks away, it looks like Woods is giving it a go.
The golf legend was allegedly pictured driving a golf cart from the back of a golf course. While his condition remains unclear, the reasons for his visit do. The 15-time major championship winner is out cheering his son, budding golfer Charlie Woods, in his golfing endeavor.
From the photograph that has been widely circulated on social media, it looks like young Charlie is participating in one of the U.S. Kids Golf tournaments, for which Woods Sr. willingly made a public entry. Further clips could help clarify his condition in the days to come.
