TWLEGION, the fan community for Tiger Woods on Twitter, has made new revelations. They posted an update about the former number-one golfer and his injuries. Kira Dixon, a 2015 Miss America who is now a golf broadcaster, was the source of information. According to the news, Woods will be playing at the pro-am. He woke up at 3 am to prepare for the same. Not just this, but his team has come up with a brilliant strategy so that he can walk longer distances easily. The fans went crazy after the news surfaced online.
Is the golf world impressed by Tiger Woods?
After having a single car accident in February 2021, Woods was away from golf for 14 months straight. Many speculations took place regarding his return to golf and his health. However, he did give hints about how his 2023 schedule might look. But the question is, will the pro golfer be able to pull through the pain? Is he really ready to play? During the 2022 PNC Championship, the PGA Tour pro played through the pain. Woods might do it again. But how good will it be for his career? And waking up so early, will it not affect his health?

It is no news that the 15 times major championship winner has always had a rigorous fitness regime. But will it be sustainable to wake up at 3 am to prepare for the pro-am and use tape to support the ankle? The fans have made their speculations. But we can only be sure once we see the pro on the green. Last year, he was supposed to play at the hero World Challenge. But only a few days before the event, he had to withdraw his name because of plantar fascitis on his right foot.
However, one thing must be noted, Masters is near. And fans are hoping to see Woods win his 16th major championship this year. They have waited for a long time. But now, the events have taken a turn in a way that has led to the nail-biting of the fans. For the GOAT to play at Augusta International, he will have to be careful so he does not injure himself again.
Here are a few of the reactions of the fans.
He will find out more things that can help support that ankle as time goes on

Is the use of a golf cart on the table for Woods?
In 2021, Woods denied using a cart during a PGA Tour event. He said, “No, I wouldn’t. No, absolutely not. Not for a PGA Tour event. That’s just not who I am.” It was not shocking, as he has always returned to the golf course only when he has fully recovered. However, while fulfilling his hosting duties at the Hero World Challenge last year, he had to use the cart to move around. But while playing at the event, he will resist it. Therefore, he must prepare to receive criticism if he uses a cart at the Genesis Invitational. Probably, that is why his team came up with the tape strategy to support his ankle.
