Woods made probably one of the greatest comebacks in the history of golf. Tiger is playing his first official event since the 2020 Masters in November.
He suffered a near-fatal car accident in 2021 that saw him injure his right leg and keep him away from the course for a considerable amount of time.
The five-time Masters champion played some incredible shots in his round on Saturday. Woods hit a few crisp iron shots and drove the ball well.

Apart from Woods’ mesmerizing golf shots, the golf fans were served with a not-so-pleasant image of Tiger from his third round at the 2022 Masters.

The concerning news broke out in the form of a tweet. ‘No Laying Up’ tweeted an image of Tiger from Day 3. They captioned it, “This walk down the hill on six was super uncomfortable. Hard to capture in a screen grab, but the leg was not bending in a normal way.”
In the tweet, Woods was walking down the sixth fairway. But his right leg, the injured leg, seemed to be bent awkwardly. As a result, the image proved how tough it was for him to walk through Augusta National.
The golf world reacts to the recent Tiger Woods image
As soon as the image broke out, golf Twitter went into a frenzy. Golf fans from all over the globe started to react to the unpleasant image of Tiger’s leg. While most of the reactions portrayed the fan’s concerns over the challenging walk at Augusta National, other fans wanted Tiger to prevent further injuries to his already injured leg.
A few responses applauded Woods’ toughness to sustain pain.
He’s gotta WD man, what is the point of him hurting himself to finish T-25

My guess is he probably was told he’s not going to injure himself worse if he plays. It’s just a pain thing and Tiger has always been willing to try to gut out pain.

The conditions out there are tough. Really tough. Tiger just needs to hang tough and grind it out. It's tough out there.

Kinda looks like someone who recently had major leg surgery. Its never going to be perfect

Probably has to do with the car accident he was in last year

The lower right leg bows out considerably. Have been watching it all week.

Makes his performance this week all the more miraculous and incredible.
