Woods has not played an official tournament since the Masters 2020 in November.
Woods’ future in professional golf is uncertain, but the PGA Tour golfer Justin Thomas said in a recent podcast that the major 15-time champion is “trying” to make a comeback.
“I knew he would try,” Thomas said on the No Laying Up podcast. “I don’t see him ever playing if he can’t play well. He doesn’t see me as a guy playing at home and he’s shooting a bunch of 75s and 76s and he’s like, ‘Okay. , I’m going to try Augusta this year.’ It’s not really him, at least to my knowledge, what I know of him.”
Woods previously returned from a serious injury to win the 2019 Masters championship after undergoing spinal fusion surgery in April 2017. Woods won his fifth Masters title and 15th major title. and has a total of three wins after coming back in 2018.
He was recovering from another minor surgery at the time of the accident.
