This week, Tiger Woods shocked everyone by confirming his participation in the 2022 Masters. Following his long absence, a comeback at Augusta National was more than what fans could ask for. As a result, fans on social media are utilizing every opportunity to celebrate this occasion.
Paige Spiranac seems to be one of those Woods fans on Instagram or Twitter.

Considering her posts, the retired golfer seems to be excited about Woods‘ return. The photo shared focused on Woods’ practice round, which was crowded with people present to watch Woods play.
Fans react to Paige Spiranac’s recent Tiger Woods tweet
In her tweet, Spiranac referred to woods as the needle. The photo itself was from Woods’ practice round at Augusta National, which brought along an unexpected crowd. Woods’ return to the course has been celebrated by fans, who are eager to see Woods play.
Of course, fans had to comment on Spiranac’s compliment as well. Unfortunately, many comments belonged to haters who actually wanted Woods to miss the Masters. The Masters, to many fans, is incomplete without Woods.
The 46-year-old last won the 2019 Maters, which was another highlight in his career. Furthermore, Woods will be trying his best to win the Masters this week. If he does, he will match Jack Nicklaus’ record for six wins.

I know he is in better condition than most humans, even after the accident, and I know he has practiced far more than we are aware…… I just wonder what toll walking 4 days 🙏🏻 will do to his stamina. All in 🐅

I am not a fan of Tiger but he definitely is the needle mover of golf. A tournament is different with him there. Not a fan but definitely respect his ability and mental toughness on the course!

Many people appreciated the crowd that gathered for Woods. They noted that it was just the practice round, and one cannot even imagine the crowd that will show up for the rounds. Many added that if Woods ends up making the CUT, it will truly become an iconic affair.
When did Woods play last?
That being said, this eagerness about Woods playing has developed since his accident last year. Woods was sidelined for months, with no official news provided about his health. Though he played the PNC Championship with his son Charlie, nothing was to be said about his PGA Tour return. In fact, Woods’ game was in question as no proper statement was released.
However, Woods’ arrival at Augusta National ended up answering all questions.

Some fans even wondered about Woods’ health and stamina. Since no tournament is easy, it might be difficult for Woods to keep up for four days. He has been away for months, and might not be able to match stamina levels.
