According to Jason Day, Woods’ withdrawal from last year’s PGA resulted from a screw that had pierced through the skin of the 47-year-old’s foot. Fans on Twitter couldn’t hide their shock, with one terming the incident as “brutal.”

The 2019 Masters champion has struggled since he sustained grievous injuries in a 2021 car crash. His right leg was particularly affected, with the golfer undergoing extensive emergency surgery.
Fans also reminisced about pre-injury Tiger Woods. One fan even called out the golfer’s driving skills for his current situation.
Tiger is a great golfer but a terrible driver

My question is: Why didn’t he have a driver drive him to that commercial shoot? He certainly can afford one.
