Tiger Woods is playing the 2022 Masters.
That in itself is pretty miraculous. Woods is just a little more than a year removed from a serious single-car accident in which he almost lost a leg. But after months of rehab and physical therapy, the 15-time major champion is able to play.
Woods is reportedly hitting the ball well at Augusta National. However, he was seen with a bit of a limp on Wednesday.

That doesnât look good, but those in the golf world arenât too concerned.
Sports Illustratedâs Ross Dellenger had more on his practice round:
Sure, he had a slight limp, a âhitch in his giddy-up,â as one patron mused. And, yes, he flashed that wiggle. But the most noticeable issue: When walking down a steep slope, Woods moved with a noticeable hitch to take as much weight off the right leg.
Woods is set to tee off shortly after 10:30 a.m. E.T. on Thursday.
Many are expecting him to play well, limp and all.
Asked Fred Couples what he thought about Tigerâs game after playing 18 total holes with him. Namely, how it compares to â18 and â19 practice rounds.
Long pause.
âHonestly, he looks exactly the sameâŚitâs a miraculous thing.â

IMO @TigerWoods will contend if the putter is working. He doesnât care about pain/discomfort and clearly is hitting it well (I saw firsthand Monday). Heâll sacrifice a little pain and limp for another jacket.

One thing is certain: golf fans are pumped to have him back.
