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.
"Sad to see Tiger," one said.
Another added: "His lower body looks old."
I played golf with Tiger Woods but he was a ghost behind the scenes - his romance with Vanessa Trump surprised me
A third commented: "Nice to see Tiger out walking and watching Charlie play."
A fourth noted: "Both of his legs look like twigs compared to the rest of his body.
"Don't think he'll be able to fully come back anymore to playing PGA Tour events and contending."
And one said: "Achilles rupture is no joke."

Charlie went on to finish 6th in the 122-man field at the tournament.
Woods hasn't played in a PGA Tour event since missing the cut at The Open in July 2024.
However, he did play in his and Rory McIlroy's indoor TMRW Golf League earlier this year.
He has been dealing with a number of medical setbacks.
In March, he announced he had ruptured his left Achilles.
Woods, now dating Vanessa Trump, also had his sixth back surgery in 2024.
And in 2021, he almost lost his right leg after a car crash.

The Reds confirmed the arrival of the goalkeeper on a free transfer following his exit from Preston North End.

He will now have to compete with the likes of Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili for gametime. Liverpool are well aware of the talents of Woodman despite the stopper spending most of his career in the EFL. He came through the ranks at Newcastle United and starred for the likes of Swansea City and Kilmarnock before moving to Deepdale. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL WISH ROO WERE HERE? Wayne Rooney pictured looking glum on holiday with Coleen & Utd legends The Reds were linked with a move for Woodman before he had even made a first-team appearance for the Magpies. They were reportedly competing with Crystal Palace and Southampton for his signature at the time. The Eagles had an advantage in the race as they had hired Woodman's dad, Andy, as a coach. Woodman had also spent over ten years at the South London club in his youth before moving up north in 2013. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS Andy - who now manages Bromley - was close friends with Sir Gareth Southgate and was even the best man at his wedding. Woodman has also racked up plenty of international experience during his career.

However, he stayed put at St James' Park until he left permanently in 2022 for Preston. He spent three seasons as the club's first-choice stopper and was named Player of the Year in his debut season. Preston's former manager Ryan Lowe, even claimed that the stopper was worth £20MILLION amid interest from Rangers at the time. This summer, Liverpool were not the only club in the running for Woodman. Manchester United were also reportedly interested but ultimately opted to offer veteran Tom Heaton a new deal. 6 Woodman may be viewed as the third-choice goalkeeper at Anfield but he still has an important role. The Englishman qualifies as a homegrown player which is important for the club's participation in the Champions League. Uefa allows clubs to register 17 non-homegrown players in their squads and Slot is at his limit. This is due to the summer arrivals of Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. Last season, Woodman impressed at Deepdale as he played a crucial role in the club's survival in the Championship. He kept 12 clean sheets in 37 appearances as the club finished just one point above the bottom three. 6 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW
