With arguably the most exciting week in the golfing calendar now upon us, the main talk heading into the Masters Tournament is fixating on whether Tiger Woods will compete come Thursday’s opening round.
Roll back 12 months and the idea of Woods even getting out on a golf course again - let alone competing in the sport’s signature event - was nothing more than a distant hope. This came after the golfing great was involved in a high-speed car accident in California back in February 2021. In the crash Woods suffered life-changing injuries, which included open fractures to his lower right leg and further injuries to his foot and ankle.
In what has been a remarkable career for the 82-time PGA Tour winner, it seemed as if it would end in devastating circumstances with rumours circulating that he could well struggle to ever walk again.
