Woods successfully completed the tournament after a lengthy recovery.

This past weekend saw golfing superstar Tiger Woods’s return to the tournament scene after over a year of recovery from a severe car accident in 2021. Woods played in the Masters tournament, swinging in good form, though admitting that walking up and down hills was very difficult for him. While he didn’t win the tournament by a longshot, he was still proud to have played at all, and is eager to keep trying to get back to where he was.

“I don’t think words can really describe that given where I was a little over a year ago and what my prospects were at that time to end up here and be able to play in all four rounds,” Woods said. “Even a month ago, I didn’t know if I could pull this off. I think it was a positive, and I’ve got some work to do and looking forward to it.”

As for whether or not Woods will be appearing in more major golf events, he’s planning on playing it by ear, though he definitely intends to show up at The Open at St. Andrews in July.

“It’ll be just the big events,” Woods said. “I don’t know if it’ll be Southern Hills or not. But I am looking forward to St. Andrews. That is something that is near and dear to my heart. I’ve won two Opens there, it’s the home of golf. It’s my favorite golf course in the world, so I will be there for that one. But anything in between that, I don’t know. I will try, no doubt. Like this week, I will try and get ready for Southern Hills and we’ll see what this body is able to do.”
