Tiger Woods recently played his first-ever golf tournament since the solo car crash in February 2021. He competed at the 2021 PNC Championship with his son Charlie Woods. Moreover, team Woods finished runner-up for the event as team Daly won the championship.
But everyone was glad to see Tiger’s recovery. The 15-time major championship winner played some breathtaking strokes in the 36-hole event.
