Woods, 46, — who played in the Masters and PGA Championship, but skipped the U.S. Open — attended a junior golf event over the weekend to watch his son, Charlie, the NY Post reported.

While at the event, he posed for pictures with several younger golfers; he did so without the black leg sleeve that usually covers his right leg.

The photo clearly shows the extensive scarring on Woods’ leg, blemishes from the single-car wreck that knocked him unconscious in February 2021.
