He was forced to withdraw from the tournament in the third round due to injury.

The golf legend suffered severe injuries to his right leg in the crash.

He initially feared that he would never walk again, but following a period of intense rehab he returned to the golf course last year.

His life-changing injuries have since impacted his career.

But fans were sent into a frenzy when they saw that Woods had returned on Saturday.

The 15-time major champion was filmed practising his swing at Pebble Beach.

In the video, which has been shared on social media, Woods can be seen hitting a wedge shot to a par-3 hole.

Golf fans were left thrilled, with one person tweeting: “Just give him the green jacket now.”

Another added: “Tiger Woods is going to win again @ChampionsTour.”

A third wrote: “Here we go! Your 2024 Masters Champ. See you at the PNC with Charlie.”

While a fourth commented: “You love to see it. Still no divots either. Just pickin it.”
