On Tuesday, April 1, aka April Fools’ Day, Woods decided to have a little fun with the sports world as he shared an April Fools’ joke that sounded completely implausible yet caught several readers off-guard as they made the mistake of believing Woods’ injury recovery themed joke.
“I can’t believe I am saying this, but a few weeks after rupturing my left Achilles, the sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber plus the explosive lifts my doctors and trainers have me read to play the Masters next week! Can’t wait! See y’all on the course!” Woods wrote on X Tuesday.
The message was retweeted by CBS Sports reporter Tracy Wolfson soon after she admitted she had been fooled.
Woods later responded that his Achilles is “still a mess” as he fessed up to the devious April Fools’ joke that surprised many readers.
