Woods, a 15-time major winner and five-time Masters victor, has only played one round of professional golf this year after taking part in the Genesis Invitational. He withdrew after six holes in the second round due to illness.Woods suffered significant right leg injuries following a single-car accident in February 2021, to the point where he nearly had to undergo an amputation. Understandably, the 48-year-old has played sparingly ever since.
He played in the Masters, PGA Championship and Open Championship in 2022 but participated in just the Masters in 2023, withdrawing in the third round.
