The weekend’s PGA Tour event, the Genesis Open, carries a lot more weight than usual. Indeed, the return of the prodigal son, Tiger Woods, has been keenly awaited for several months. But while he has confidently proclaimed his comeback to be a victorious one, the reality of it seems in doubt. One of the crucial reasons is because of Woods’ injury and concerns with his right leg, with the latest news confirming that the legend is still limping.

Is Woods ready to take part in the PGA Tour?

The golf legend has worked his way back after suffering from near-fatal injuries in a car accident in February 2021. He suffered significant injuries to his tibia and fibula bones, which sidelined him for months.

But by his own admission, Woods recuperated from his injury earlier than expected. However, he could only participate in the major championships in 2022 barring the U.S. Open, where he wasn’t able to challenge for the title.

But in December last year, fans got to see Woods in action at various competitions. It rekindled hopes of Woods’ comeback heading into the 2023 season, which also features the biennial Ryder Cup.

The Genesis Open marks Woods’ first start on the tour this season. Earlier this week, he was seen practicing in harsh conditions in a clip posted by the PGA Tour. Some keen-eyed observers were on point when they noticed something strange in Woods’ walk, while others had put it down to sub-par temperatures.
