Tiger Woods recently attended the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship at Oakland Hills Country Club in Michigan. However, something was off about the famous athlete. Woods was seen sporting some shorts, but he was not wearing his usual leg sleeve. This is a big change for the golfer, who has worn a sleeve since his serious car accident in 2021. Fans now know why Woods always wears a sleeve, as his leg has some crazy scarring on it.
Those who attended the event were able to see a gigantic scar going down Tiger Woods’ leg. The scar is from the many surgeries that were needed after the horrible accident in California. This prompted many fans to take to Twitter to talk about the golf icon and what this means for this career.

“That looks brutal,” one fan wrote.
“Well, that explains a lot,” said another.

Tiger also stated in an interview that amputation was a “serious possibility.” However, Woods has worked hard to get back into playing shape and has even participated in some tournaments since the crash.

From what fans have said on social media, it seems they are nothing short of impressed. However, they believe that his scars are truly gnarly.
