Tiger Woods plays golf for first time since ankle surgery in April as golf legend targets massive comeback | The Sun

TIGER WOODS has returned to the golf course for the first time since April.

The 47-year-old was last seen playing at The Masters in Augusta six months ago.

He was forced to withdraw from the tournament in the third round due to injury.

Woods then had surgery on his ankle to fix post-traumatic arthritis following his 2021 car accident.

The golf legend suffered severe injuries to his right leg in the crash.

He initially feared that he would never walk again, but following a period of intense rehab he returned to the golf course last year.

In the video, which has been shared on social media, Woods can be seen hitting a wedge shot to a par-3 hole.
