The Palm Beach Post reported excellent news: Tiger Woods is back on the golf course, at least as a spectator. Even more encouraging was the fact that Woods was not wearing any protective gear on his left leg, which he had surgery on less than three months ago.
His public appearance immediately went viral, with thousands of fans reacting on social media. The X NUCLR GOLF account, which tracks golf events worldwide, even asked fans about a possible Woods return:

The 49-year-old legend suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon that was surgically repaired on March 11. According to Woods himself, the procedure was a success.
Woods was at the BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, watching his son Charlie compete in the Florida Amateur Championship. Published photos show the 82-time PGA Tour winner riding in a golf cart with his left leg completely free of a walking boot or other visible protective gear:

Tiger Woods has had to stage numerous comebacks throughout his professional golf career due to injuries and surgeries. His most recent comeback was in 2024 when he played in only five official tournaments, missing three cuts and withdrawing once.
That same year, he also played in the PNC Championship, teaming up with Charlie. Team Woods had an excellent performance, finishing second after losing in a playoff to Bernhard Langer and his son, Jason.

Charlie Woods finished the first round of the Florida State Championship tied for 39th place, with a score of 2-over par. His day’s performance included three birdies and five bogeys, leaving him eight strokes behind the three players tied for first place.
The Florida Amateur Championship will be played over four rounds, with a cut after the first 36 holes. The field consists of 168 players.
Charlie, 16, comes into this event fresh off his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) title, the TaylorMade Junior Invitational, where he defeated the nation’s top junior players, including stars like Miles Russell and Luke Colton.
