AUGUSTA, Ga. – While most of the focus this week has been on Tiger Woods’ surgically repaired right leg and his immediate future at the Masters, his return to competitive golf for the first time since the fall of 2020 has led to a larger conversation about how his game evolves.
Following a second-round 74, he was asked if the injury to his right leg, which was sustained in a single-vehicle car crash in February 2021, had forced him to make swing changes.
“I can't do much. The ankle is not going to move. I got rods and plates and pins and screws and a bunch of different things in there,” said Woods, who is tied for 19th and nine shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler.
