Tiger Woods returns at The Masters: Best memes and tweets

After several days of practice rounds at The Masters, Tiger Woods will make his return to professional golf on Thursday.

In Feb. of 2021, Tiger Woods was involved in a violent car accident near his California home. Many feared for his life and personal well-being, let alone whether he’d actually ever play golf again. His athletic future was on the backburner.

On Tuesday afternoon, Woods uttered the words few ever thought he’d say again: “As of right now I feel like I’m going to play.”

Assuming all goes well on Wednesday, Woods will make an appearance at The Masters. His performance — to all but him, surely — is an afterthought. Considering the violent accident, he is a modern athletic marvel. But we already knew that.
