Tiger Woods was looking in tremendous shape as he turned up for the final round of the Hero World Challenge on Sunday.
The 47-year-old has been through a torrid time dealing with injuries and a horror car crash in 2021.
Just seeing him still out on the golf course is a feat in itself, but he showed he clearly is putting in the work in the gym to give him the best chance possible.
The Hero World Challenge is Woods’ first competition since withdrawing from The Masters in April in order to have ankle surgery.
Any time he has been seen in public he has had a limp, but that appeared to have been gone at the Bahamas event this week.
The 15-time major winner arrived at the Hero World Challenge in a tank top and shorts, while carrying his signature red and black clothes – even his leg brace sported his final day colours.
He is likely to be using this event as a test to see how his body will react to playing at events in 2024.
Woods himself admitted the results so far have been positive.
“I’m very excited at how I have felt physically,” he said. “[I have] showed myself that I can recover each and every day, that was kind of an unknown as far as I’ve walked this far.
“I’ve done all my training, but add in playing and concentration and adrenaline and all those other factors that speed up everything.”
Through three rounds, Woods was at even par with leader Scottie Scheffler on -16.
