Tiger Woods Took One Day Off After the Masters to Resume Rehab

This just in: Tiger Woods is a machine.

Fourteen months after being in a serious car wreck that almost led to the amputation of a leg, Woods played in the 2022 Masters. After opening with a 1-under 71, he shot a 74 on Friday before stumbling to back-to-back 78s over the weekend to finish in 47^th place.

Woods is now at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the PGA Championship. He was asked on Tuesday about how his recovery has gone since leaving Augusta and whether he took any time to rest following four rounds of competitive golf.

Tiger said:

“There was a huge lull—Monday. That was it… It was not fun. It hurt. Ice baths and just trying to get the swelling out of there. Then we went back at it; leg day on Tuesday.”

Woods says in the month since Augusta, he’s been able to practice a bit longer each day and his days have been more positive. Over the past few weeks, he’s also played quite a bit of Southern Hills, where he won the PGA Championship the last time it was staged here in 2007.

The 15-time major champion will tee off at 9:11 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday with playing partners Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth.
