Woods has not played competitively since the 2020 Masters in November.

Woods was in a serious car crash 14 months ago that threatened his ability to walk.

The excitement is real. Tiger says as of now, he’s playing this week. The struggle doesn’t come with the game of golf, it comes with walking and recovery. His body doesn’t recover as quickly as before because of the surgeries from the car crash ⛳️ @cbs46
