It has been only a little more than a year since Woods met with a single car crash. The accident almost cost him his leg, which was on the verge of getting amputated at one point of the doctor’s diagnosis. Nevertheless, multiple surgeries made him immobile for a couple of months.
It took a team of doctors, nurses, and physical therapists and hours of hard work to make Tiger walk again. He took a year off from playing competitive golf and made a comeback at the 2022 Masters Tournament.
Woods is yet to find his physical best. Yet, he managed to make the cut at the Augusta National and finished at 47th on the leaderboard. Additionally, Tiger has also registered to play at the PGA Championship this week.

On top of this news, the update from his caddie is a reassurance to the fans that Tiger is most likely to play at the event.
“I don’t think he’s getting quite as tired as quickly,” LaCava said about the golfer’s condition. “I see more endurance more than anything.’’
