TIGER WOODS ARRIVED at Augusta National on Tuesday with son Charlie to play a practice round and test his fitness for next week’s Masters, Sports Illustrated reported.
Citing unnamed sources, a posting on the magazine’s website said the 15-time major winner and five-time Masters champion who suffered severe leg injuries in a crash last year was with his son Charlie.
If Woods plays next week in the year’s first major tournament, it would be the first time he has played in an official event since a car crash in February 2021 left him hospitalized for weeks and struggling to walk for months.

Since the accident, Woods has played in a family event alongside Charlie and been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Woods has said he does plan to return to the PGA Tour, although not on a full-time basis, but has never given a timetable for when he might make a comeback.
On the Masters website, Woods remains on a list of players who are qualified for next week’s Masters as a past champion, rather than on a list of non-playing past champions.
This week on the Front Row – The42’s new rugby podcast in partnership with Guinness – panellist Eimear Considine makes a welcome return… and she’s brought her Ireland roommate, Hannah O’Connor, along too. They chat about broken noses, tanning routines, initiation songs and balancing the Women’s Six Nations with teaching, plus how one fan named her child after Ireland winger Beibhinn Parsons!
