Tiger Woods remembers how his parents helped him be successful in golf. (1:45)
Tiger Woods played 18 holes at Augusta National Golf Club on Tuesday in his attempt to return from injuries he sustained in a car wreck about 14 months ago, sources told ESPN.
Sources said that Tiger Woods played all 18 holes with his son and friend.
He played every one of them, according to a source.
Woods and his team arrived at Augusta Regional Airport on his private jet Tuesday morning, sparking anticipation on social media that he was about to play in the Masters. Augusta National is considered to be one of the most difficult walks in golf.
There is 4,300 hours of live coverage from 35 PGA TOUR tournaments each year. You can access replays, originals and more. You can stream on the internet.
A deleted video shows Woods playing at a golf club in Florida with his caddie, Joe LaCava.
The Masters is the first major championship of the season and Woods is listed as one of the participants. He is yet to say whether he is playing.
Since the 2020 Masters, where Woods won his 15th major, Woods has not played in a regular tour event.
This would be the first time Woods tried to return to Augusta National after a long absence. Woods won the Masters in his first major championship in 11 years after multiple knee and back surgeries.
Woods had serious injuries to his leg and foot in a car wreck. The SUV that he was driving crossed through two oncoming lanes, struck a curb and upended a tree on a downhill stretch in Rolling Hills Estates, just outside Los Angeles. He was wearing a seatbelt, and officers found him sitting in the SUV.
An ambulance took Woods to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. He had a broken fibula in his right leg. He told reporters at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas that doctors almost had to amputate his leg.
Woods said that his right leg does not look like his left leg.
At a news conference before the Genesis in February, Woods said that he had been concentrating on chipping, putting and short irons. He said he hadn't done much work on long irons and fairway woods because he needed too much work on his right leg.
I wish I could tell you, but I don't. My golfing activity has been limited. I can chip and putt well and hit short irons, but I haven't done much long-term. I am still working.
I am still working on the walking part. The walking part is something that I am still working on, since my foot was messed up a year ago. It takes time. It is not at my timetable. I would like to be at a certain place, but I am not. I have to keep working. I am getting better. Not at the speed and rate that I would like. The age factor is added as well. It is frustrating that you don't heal as fast.
In December, Woods and Charlie played in a tournament. He was allowed to use a golf cart, but he did some walking.
