Tiger Woods has announced that he will play on the Masters next week in a stunning post on social media – but fans quickly realized that everything is not the way it seems.
The wave legend, who underwent an operation only three weeks ago, wrote on X: 'I can't believe this, but a few weeks after tearing my left Achilles, sleeping in a hyperbaric room plus the explosive lifts that my doctors and trainers have ready to play the masters! I can't wait! See you on the track. '
Woods, 49, recently saw his hope for a return to the course when he tore his Achilles tendon while he was at home in Florida.
The 15-way winner was preparing for his last comeback when he felt a 'sharp pain' in his left heel before he went under the knife on 11 March.
And as a result, fans quickly point out that his shock masters claim, of course, was posted on April Fool's Day.
“I know the date on which you can't fool me,” replied a fan.

Woods then came clean five minutes later after being clarified that he will not return to the course in Augusta next week while recovering from his up.

At the end of last month, Tiger made a more serious announcement when he confirmed his romance with the former daughter -in -law of Donald Trump Vanessa.
