After fracturing his leg and severely injuring his ankle in a 2021 car crash, Tiger Woods said his professional golf career was over. However, he made a major comeback at the 2022 Masters Tournament.
This year’s Masters begin on April 9, but will Woods be competing in the tournament? He had to withdraw from the competition in 2023, played in 2024, and skipped out again in 2025 due to an Achilles tear.
