Tiger Woods arrived at Augusta National on Tuesday with son Charlie to play a practice round and test his fitness for next week’s Masters, Sports Illustrated reported.

Citing unnamed sources, a posting on the magazine’s website said the 15-time major winner and five-time Masters champion who suffered severe leg injuries in a crash last year was with his son Charlie.

If Woods plays next week in the year’s first major tournament, it would be the first time he has played in an official event since a car crash in February 2021 left him hospitalised for weeks and struggling to walk for months.

Since the accident, Woods has played in a family event alongside Charlie and been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Masters website has Tiger Woods down to play

Woods has said he does plan to return to the PGA Tour, although not on a full-time basis, but has never given a timetable for when he might make a comeback.

On the Masters website, Tiger Woods remains on a list of players who are qualified for next week’s Masters as a past champion, rather than on a list of non-playing past champions.
