Tiger Woods, the 15-time major champion, is taking an active role in hosting the TGR Jr. Invitational at Pebble Beach Resorts this weekend. In a surprising turn of events, Woods decided to step onto the golf course himself.
TGR Live shared a video on X that captured Woods in action as he executed a wedge shot at The Hay, the par-3 course he personally designed at Pebble Beach. The Hay serves as the venue for the qualifying matches of the tournament, while the championship and consolation matches are set to unfold at The Links at Spanish Bay.

This marks a notable moment as it’s the first video footage of the Hall-of-Famer taking a golf shot since his withdrawal from this year’s Masters. His withdrawal from the Masters was followed by a subtalar fusion procedure in April, aimed at addressing post-traumatic arthritis resulting from the talus fracture he suffered during a severe car crash in 2021. Fusion surgery involves the fusion of two bones when one of them cannot be repaired or replaced through traditional means.
As for the future, whether Tiger Woods will attempt another comeback and the potential timeline for such a return remain uncertain. Golf fans worldwide eagerly await any updates on the legendary golfer’s condition and future plans.
