‘Not Funny’: Tiger Woods Gets Backlash for Toying With Fans’ Emotions Before the Masters

Tiger Woods is back in action—but is he? While he is still recovering at home, his latest post on X confirmed. After undergoing back surgery last year, he recently had another procedure to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon sustained during training at home. Following the surgery, his Masters appearance is already in jeopardy, and the golfer recently joked about it hurting his fans even more.

Woods recently shared a post on X, revealing, “I can’t believe I am saying this, but a few weeks after rupturing my left Achilles, the sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber plus the explosive lifts my doctors and trainers have me ready to play the Masters next week! Can’t wait! See y’all on the course.” Before believing anything, just look at the date. That’s right; it’s April 1st, April Fool’s Day.
