Tiger Woods has been missing from the course for the last 6 months. The G.O.A.T took a recovery break after going through with an ankle surgery. He has not participated in any events as of now. 

However, recently, Woods was seen walking and visiting golf courses more, but his gait and struggle to stand on his leg were noticed by the fans. A picture shared on Twitter of Woods enticed the worries of fans as Woods’ leg did not look good.

Woods took a long break after that incident and made his first competitive appearance at the 2022 Masters, where he finished 47.

Since then, Woods has played fewer tournaments while recovering on the side. At the 2023 Masters, Woods had to withdraw due to his aggravated plantar fasciitis. He took to Twitter to announce the surgery and the break thereafter.

Following the course of events, Woods has made substantial progress. He was seen involved in a clinic for the Nexus Cup and caddying for his son last month. After the various sightings, the recent one shows Woods in a different avatar. Sporting basketball shorts with a backward cap and a hoodie, the legend was posing with fellow golfers.

Woods was clearly seen favoring one leg and lifting his right leg to not put any pressure. While commenting on his new fashion attire, a few fans quickly noticed the distinct way of standing and called it out.
