The 49-year-old has suffered a number of health and injury issues in recent years.
And fans were left concerned by his latest look at the 41st annual Nicklaus Junior Championship.
That was at the Tequesta Country Club in Florida.
Woods was in full dad mode looking to see his 16-year-old son qualify for the US Junior Amateur earlier this month.

That was at the Eagle Trace Golf Club qualifier in Coral Springs, Florida.
However, the former world number one looked quite frail as his heads into his veteran years this week.
He was seen in shades and a hat with a grey beard, and a lot different to his playing days.
And fans took to social media after spotting the 15-time major winner, particularly his legs.

Germany U21s accused of pinching BEER MUGS by ‘crying hostess' who stormed team bus past security with machine guns
A 'VISIBLY DISTRAUGHT' woman stormed past a security armed with a submachine gun onto the Germany Under-21 team bus to accuse them of stealing BEER MUGS. Antonio Di Salvo's men are aiming to tame our Young Lions in Bratislava tonight and become European champions. 3 Nick Woltemade is aiming to shoot down England tonight in Bratislava Credit: Getty 3 German players were accused of stealing 15 beer mugs in an angry confrontation on the team bus Credit: Getty And it seems £35m-rated star striker Now explosive reports in their homeland have revealed that afterwards they were confronted by one of the stadium's VIP hostesses on the team bus. The fuming woman, described as being 'visibly distraught' and having 'her makeup smeared by tears', stormed the coach as staff and players waited for the few remaining stars to complete post-match doping tests. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL The lady marched straight past a security guard armed with a submachine gun and four stewards to board the coach and headed straight for boss Di Salvo, who was seated near the front. She then pulled out her phone and began taking several photos as the Germans looked on in total bemusement. The mugs, worth €3 each, were believed to have been provided for the match officials to enjoy some post-match fluids. Instead, 15 of them went missing and stadium staff were quick to point the finger of blame at the German players. Most read in Football BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS A stadium supervisor told BILD: 'German players simply stole around 15 beer mugs. They probably think it's all free — but it isn't. 'That's why my employee ran onto the bus. She wanted to take photos as evidence.' England and Spain stars in mass brawl after U21 Euro quarter-final Germany denied all accusations of theft and instead claim that somebody else, not associated with them, must have removed the mugs. U21 press officer Markus Beer said: 'It was all completely different. The woman had brought several beer mugs into the catacombs, presumably for the referees. Then later, empty mugs were there, which were suddenly gone. 'Someone must have thrown them away. She obviously thought our players had simply taken them. But that was definitely not the case.' It remains unclear whether the mugs were eventually recovered by the distraught woman and staff at the Kosicka Futbalova Arena. 3 Boss Antonio Di Salvo was confronted by a 'visibly distraught' woman on the bus Credit: Getty But And hopefully it will be them crying into their beer steins later should our boys lift the European Championship for a second-consecutive time.

Most read in Celebrity Millie didn't take it lying down and fired back on Instagram. She said: 'Disillusioned people can't handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs. Millie Bobby Brown addresses public scrutiny 'I refuse to apologise for growing up… I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself.' She blasted those joining in on the jibes, adding: 'You're amplifying an insult instead of questioning why a grown man is mocking a young woman's appearance.' Millie's emotional video went viral and celebs flooded the comments to praise her. Sex and the City star F1 champ Lewis Hamilton wrote: 'So truly proud of you Millie.' Singer Pixie Lott added: 'You are a true class act… always beyond beautiful inside and out.'

She secretly married model Jake Bongiovi, 22 – son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi – last year in a low-key ceremony in the US. The pair began dating in 2021, and Jake proposed during a scuba diving trip by hiding the ring inside a shell. Jon Bon Jovi gave the couple his blessing, saying: 'They're going to be great together.' Millie has even expressed interest in playing Britney Spears in a future biopic, saying: 'Her story resonates with me, growing up in the public eye.' 8 Millie in 2016, as Eleven in season one of Stranger Things Credit: Netflix 8 In an Instagram post, Millie fumed that she was: 'Disillusioned people can't handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs' Credit: Instagram 8 The star with husband Jake Bongiovi, who is the son of singer Jon Bon Jovi Credit: Splash 8 The star on the red carpet for the Enola Holmes 2 premiere in 2022 Credit: Getty
