Tiger Woods hasn't been able to play once a month as he had planned, but a fellow Masters champ said Woods looks strong.

But he’s played just 24 holes of official golf this year and after withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational during the second round due to the flu, his plans to add a tournament in Florida did not materialize. Woods suffered numerous injuries to his leg, ankle and foot in the February 2021 car crash that has kept him from playing more than seven times worldwide in the aftermath.
“Then, on top of that, playing on bent and the movement of these greens, that is something that, because I haven't played a whole lot on Tour, I don't really get a chance to see that very often. I'm home on Bermuda all the time. And so that's another factor into this week.” “So I know the deal. The lie is below your feet. It's just hard. He said his back is doing O.K. I think last year it was so bad that a lot of things just wore him down, playing in that rain, moving around slowly, sluggish. The tee times where maybe he couldn't get work done, and we were out here and doing all that.
