April 1, 2025 — Golf legend Tiger Woods sparked a stir on April 1 with an April Fools’ joke, claiming he would participate in the 2025 Masters despite still recovering from an Achilles tendon injury. The announcement caused an immediate buzz among fans and the golfing community, with many speculating about his comeback.
Woods, who had been sidelined due to his injury, initially left fans excited and intrigued about his potential return to the prestigious tournament. However, in classic April Fools’ fashion, Woods later revealed that his claim was simply a prank, much to the relief (and in some cases, disappointment) of his followers.
While Woods has not yet returned to competitive golf following his recovery, the prank brought some humor to an otherwise serious recovery process. Fans eagerly await updates on his progress and any potential future appearances in major tournaments.
