Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer of the modern era, has been out of action for a long time. A terrible accident early in the year rendered him unable to play, and he has been recovering ever since.
His absence bothered the golf world and not spotting him on the course has been most unusual. Moreover, he had to sit out of the Ryder Cup that was played at Whistling Straits this year. Even his heartfelt messages to the team could not compensate for his absence.

However, a most recent picture in circulation confirms his presence on the course. This caught all of Wood’s fans unprepared and, undoubtedly, was the highlight of the day. Woods was seen watching his son participate in a junior golf event in Florida, 8 months after his accident.

Tiger Woods pictured on course with his son
We saw the 15-time-major winner after quite a long time. Earlier, in April, we saw pictures of him supporting his son at the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. This time, he was out supporting 11-year-old Charlie at a junior event in Florida.
🚨BACK ON THE COURSE — Tiger Woods was seen this weekend in Florida watching his son compete at a junior event. TW was wearing a sleeve on his right leg & golf clothes on the range with a club in hand. First sighting in quite some time. 🙌 (Post credit: Mack Williams / Facebook) pic.twitter.com/U7Ie42ZxOE

Sporting golf clothes and a club in his hand, Woods looked better than he has in the past. However, he is still wearing a knee sleeve, which proves that he is still on his way to recovery.
Understandably, fans were ecstatic at his spotting. Here is what some of them replied to the tweet-
This is the most encouraging news since March!!! Hero or Torrey is back on IMO

Good for Tiger. Promising signs. Hope he gets back to a stage where he & Charlie get to play together again soon.

Huge tiger 🐅 fan, but homie needs to work his legs out. Maybe take some Mexican supplements to get through the undoubted atrophy that he has. That’s a kids leg 🤷♂️

Looks like a leg that’s winning 3 majors in 2022 to tie Jack

Pretty amazing given the injuries he had. Athletes always amaze me with their grit and drive to recover.

Just good to see him up and walking without crutches

Hopefully the time off has helped his back heal

Best thing I have seen in a while!!

If this is true and accurate then this is AWESOME!!

If the doctors give him clearance to start practicing within the next month, I could definitely see Torrey Pines as a possibility. But let’s just take it 1 day at a time. Only TW himself knows when he’ll truly be ready to come back

Not to mention standing in a power pose

Woods has had minimal interaction with the media since his accident and we hope he has taken this time for a much-needed break. This is another step to his recovery and the golf world sincerely hopes to see him make a swift comeback. Do you think we’ll see him in action by the Masters?
