Woods, who hasn't played an official tournament since his
February 2021 car crash, is said to be gauging whether he is fit
enough to compete in the Masters next week.
Numerous internet sleuths tracked the five-time Masters
champion's private jet from an airport near his home in Florida
to Augusta, and a source told Sports Illustrated that Woods was
golfing with his son, Charlie.
Last week, Woods' name appeared in the field for the April 7-10
Masters on the golf tournament's official website.
Woods, 46, hasn't played a round on the PGA Tour since the
coronavirus-delayed 2020 Masters, which was played in November
of that year.
The 15-time major champion underwent multiple surgeries on his
right leg following a single-car accident near Los Angeles on
Feb. 23, 2021.
Woods has said that he intends to return to the PGA Tour,
however he has declined to provide a specific timetable.
"You'll see me on the PGA Tour, I just don't know when," Woods
told CBS' Jim Nantz at the Genesis Invitational last month. "I'd
love to tell you that I'll be playing next week, but I don't
know when.
"It's frustrating in that sense, because I've been down this
road before with my back when I didn't know when I was going to
come back. It's hard, because it's hard not to have goals out
there -- you know, 'I want to play this event so I can set
myself up for that mentally and physically and emotionally.' I
don't have any of those dates in my head. I don't know yet."
