Tiger Woods opted to have a bit of fun at the expense of those who lost track of the day on the calendar.

For those who temporarily forgot, it’s not just Tuesday … it’s also April Fools’ Day.

“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 ready to play the Masters next week!” Woods wrote on his X account. “Can’t wait! See y’all on the course.”

The tweet barely was three minutes old before Woods reminded everyone what day it is.

“P.S. April Fools my Achilles is still a mess :)” he wrote.

Woods, 49, underwent surgery on March 11 to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon.

The last official tournament Woods played was a missed cut at the 2024 Open Championship last July. The 15-time major champion also played in TGL events this season.

Woods has long been plagued by health issues. He underwent his sixth back operation last September and he continues to deal with the effects of a 2021 car accident.
