Tiger Woods Spotted Walking Without Crutches Into Los Angeles Hotel

This is the second time Woods has been seen in public without crutches since his single-car accident in February

It's been a year since we saw Tiger Woods in the 2020 Masters — his last official competitive round — and about nine months since he was hospitalized after a high-speed, single-vehicle traffic accident outside Los Angeles.

The latest unofficial sighting comes from celebrity news site TMZ, which aquired video of Woods slowly walking into a Los Angeles hotel Sunday night:

🚨TMZ #VIDEO: Tiger walking in LA. Big foot style stuff again here but it’s new content. They’re reporting a “noticeable” limp but can see he is getting around. https://t.co/S2h5kzafFc pic.twitter.com/iLx0w90LdM

Woods is masked, wearing a backpack and is accompanied by a woman, also masked.

There is no official word why he's in California, though this week marks the 25th anniversary of the Tiger Woods Foundation, which his account tweeted about Monday:

I cannot believe this week we will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of @TGRFound. We have come a long way. I am so proud of our hard work and thankful for everyone who helped us get here. pic.twitter.com/bDgPXvHcp2

This is the second time recently Woods has been seen without crutches. He was spotted with his son at a junior golf event last month:

🚨BACK ON THE COURSE — Tiger Woods was seen this weekend in Florida watching his son compete at a junior event. TW was wearing a sleeve on his right leg & golf clothes on the range with a club in hand. First sighting in quite some time. 🙌 (Post credit: Mack Williams / Facebook) pic.twitter.com/U7Ie42ZxOE

The next time we see Tiger on a golf course could be next month at his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas from Nov. 29 to Dec. 5. The invite-only tournament, cancelled in 2020 by the pandemic, expanded to 20 players for this year. Some of the world's top-ranked players have committed to play in the no-cut event including Collin Morikawa, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Cantlay.
