Tiger Woods' April Fool's Prank Highlights Recovery Challenges

The golf legend joked about playing in the Masters while confirming his Achilles injury remains a significant hurdle.

Tiger Woods posted an April Fool's joke claiming he had recovered from Achilles surgery and would compete in the Masters, later clarifying it was a prank.
The joke drew mixed reactions, with fans expressing both disappointment and appreciation for Woods' humor.
Woods underwent surgery in March 2025 to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon and has not provided a timeline for his return to professional golf.
Analysts speculate Woods may face significant challenges returning to competitive golf, given his recent injuries and personal setbacks.
This year has been particularly difficult for Woods, marked by his Achilles injury, the death of his mother in February, and public attention on his new relationship with Vanessa Trump.
