Notably, Woods attended only three tournaments because of the injuries that he sustained from the 2021 car crash. He even withdrew from the 2022 Hero Challenge as he won’t be able to walk all 72 holes of the tournament.

Notably, the majority of the fans were happy to see the progress in his health. “The injury he’s got rn isn’t connected to his previous for the most part. Should go away in a few weeks,” another fan commented. “The fact he’s crouching with plantar fasciitis is pretty encouraging considering he couldn’t do that 6 months ago.”
