Tiger Woods is rumored to return to competitive action at the Masters by completing a practice round.
The former world number one was injured in a car crash 14 months ago.
Social media reported that Woods arrived at Augusta Regional Airport on Tuesday morning and was on his way to the home of the Masters.
He walked with his son and another pro.
He played every one of them, according to a source.
It had been thought that the hilly Augusta National course might prove too demanding for the 15-time major champion, but it has been proven otherwise.
He used his practice round with Thomas to see if he could make a comeback at the first major of the year.
He had serious injuries to his leg and foot in the single-vehicle incident. He had broken his fibula and tibia in his right leg.
Woods said doctors almost had to amputate his leg.
Since the accident in the outskirts of Los Angeles, Woods has only competed in the 36-hole PNC Championship, where he and his son rode in a buggy.
He and his caddie Joe LaCava were videotaped playing at the Medalist Golf Club in Florida last weekend.
I wish I could tell you when I am playing again, but I don't. My golf activity has been limited.
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 continue working. I am getting better. Not at the speed and rate that I would like.
You add in the age factor as well. It is frustrating that you don't heal as fast.
Woods has until next week to make a decision.
His participation is likely to depend on how his body reacts to playing 18 holes in a row.
