Tiger Woods had been inactive from professional golf since April 2023. He had to withdraw from the first major of the season, the Master Tournament, due to an ankle injury. Later on, he underwent a medical procedure called a subtalar fusion to address the issue, which was successful. However, he was advised to rest for months.
In the last few days, the legendary golfer has been spotted golfing multiple times in California. The video that went viral was with his son Charlie Woods at Pebble Beach's the Hay Short Course.
It was speculated that Tiger Woods was in town for the TGR Live events, the JR Invitational and the TW Invitation. Later on, he was spotted at the latter tournament, alongside PGA Tour golfer Max Homa striping off the golf balls at the Monterey Peninsula Country Club.
