Tiger Woods is on the player list for The Masters later this month, but according to a longtime friend of the 15-time major champion there are concerns regarding the physical challenge of navigating 72 holes over four days. Ever since his serious car crash in 2021 in which he suffered severe leg injuries, Woods has battled myriad ailments as he attempts to remain competitive. “He’s trying to formulate a strategy and approach that he can work within given the constraints that he’s presented with. And he’s got some constraints,” Woods’ friend Notah Begay III told a conference call on Wednesday, according to USA Today. “He’s got zero mobility in that left ankle and really has low-back challenges now, which he knew he was going to have.” CNN has reached out to Woods’ representatives for comment. Following the car crash three years ago, Woods had an operation to fuse his ankle in 2023. He admitted afterwards that his recovery took its toll.
