Fans all are aware of the former no. 1 being in a near-fatal car accident in February 2021. And it is something to be thankful for that after suffering a severe leg injury, he is still able to walk. He was in rehab for a year to recover and made his comeback at the PNC Championship last December. Woods played alongside his son Charlie, which eventually landed him on no. 566 in 2021.

In 2022, after his comeback, he was able to play in official tournaments and competed in just nine rounds. However, he was able to cut Masters in April and finished in the 47th position. He made the second cut in the PGA Championship in May, but he withdrew his name after the third round. As a result, he couldn’t be part of the Open Championship in July. This left his fans wondering if Woods has a bright golfing future.
