The 82X PGA Tour champ was struck with an accident in 2021, forcing him away from the game. Although he returned to pick up his clubs a year later, his ankle surgery forced him to take an indefinite hiatus from the sport. Even so, the 15X major champion has been spotted again on the course.
A tweet was uploaded by TWLEGION, a fan page dedicated to the legend, on their social media handle which shows the golfer on the course. The video showcases Woods driving the ball all the while managing to hit it far off into the fairways.
Such an update comes just a week after the disappointing Ryder Cup where the Americans saw themselves being beaten by their European rivals 16.5-11.5. Moreover, people have been so critical of Zach Johnson that they wanted a change in captaincy, dragging in Woods’ name.

When asked about the same, Davis Love III, the PGA Tour pro, mentioned how they have yet to call him and ask him about it. Moreover, he said, “Obviously, with some guys out, he’s the next logical choice. It takes a lot out of you. Hopefully, we can talk him into it,” he said.
Nevertheless, even the GOAT himself might not have expected such a frenzy of reactions from the community.

Although there was immense love for the 47-year-old, some couldn’t help but point out how Woods needed to wrap it up and retire from the course. Well, concern can come out in different ways, it seems!
Love tiger but the grandpa needs to wrap it up

The annual family pairs tournament to be held in December is another place where the fans of the legend hope to see him with his son Charlie Woods. The 2023 PNC Championship thus holds a lot of hope for the community.

The leg must not have completely healed yet. The professional had pulled out of the 2022 Masters due to an injury to his plantar fasciitis. Although he was spotted swinging his club, a fan noticed the difficulty that he was facing while doing so.
Seems very cautious with the leg
