Tiger Woods has not been the same dominant golfer ever since he was injured in a serious car crash back in 2021. In recent years, he has struggled to even make the cut of most tournaments. And based on a recent photo that has gone viral on social media, his recent struggles make a lot of sense.
Typically, Tiger Woods wears either long pants or a sleeve over his right leg to cover up the scars from the injuries he sustained back in 2021. But a recent photo showed him without the sleeve over his right leg, and the scars and disfigurement were quite evident.
The photo shows a long scar running down Woods’ entire right calf. Additionally, his right calf looks a bit disfigured and generally abnormal compared to his left calf.

Needless to say, this shocking photo quickly went absolutely viral on social media with people offering their reactions to the clear injuries that Woods has been playing through over the past several seasons.
With the length of the scar visible the simple fact that Tiger Woods sometimes makes cuts at majors is absolutely phenomenal so can we simply celebrate that fact instead of wondering if he’ll ever win again. The man has done more than enough for the game. https://t.co/u3setS8MlX

Can we finally come to agreement that all should be exempt from walking in PGA events? Call it the Tiger rule. Who cares if these guys are walking or riding in carts? I’m sure they’d all be happy to go around all week in a cart. Would speed the process up too. https://t.co/2Ex9WMhYRu

Given the clear scarring and disfigurement, it’s easy to understand why Woods has struggled in recent years. Quite honestly, it’s even more impressive that he’s been as successful as he has been since the accident.
