Injured Tiger Woods walks tall as son Charlie swings his way through golf championship

Tiger Woods, a 47-year-old golf icon was spotted caddying for his son Charlie, who was walking without a perceptible limp while carrying his bag during the weekend, at the Notah Begay III Junior Golf Championship in Louisiana.

While participating in the competition, Woods walked rapidly along with his 14-year-old son, as shown in a video posted on SB Nation's Playing Through on X.

Entering the final round on Monday, Charlie was tied for 23rd at 5-over, but the father-son seemed to be enjoying their unique relationship. 

In September, Tiger carried his son's clubs as Charlie secured his spot in the November competition. This was the second time in recent months that Tiger was spotted caddying for Charlie.

More than six months have passed since Tiger withdrew from the Masters before the fourth round due to a relapse of plantar fasciitis. This news of his quick gait comes at a time.

Later that month, Tiger had "successful" fusion surgery on his ankle to treat his leg arthritis.

He reported to reporters in April that he was still experiencing "constant" leg agony following his significant injuries from his February 2021 single-car accident in California.

Tiger informed reporters that he suffers from "constant" pain in his right leg and that his leg was still "sore" during the opening round of the Masters. 

"It's okay to hop on the left leg," he continued. "Not so fine if I did it on the other one," according to ESPN.

Nevertheless, fellow golfer Stewart Cink said this week that the superstar appears to be about to make a comeback.

Speaking to the Golf Channel, 50-year-old Cink conjectured that the 15-time major winner appeared to be getting ready for a resurgence.

"He said that he started practicing, which I think is a great sign,” Cink said. “I don’t know what he’s practicing for, but he said he started practicing. So that means he’s in go-mode for something, and I think we’re all pulling for him to feel as good as he can feel, and if he’s hitting golf balls, I think he’s going in the right direction.”
