What happened

The famed golfer was spotted walking on the tarmac at Palm Beach International Airport Wednesday, photos obtained by The Post show, after his private jet landed from Switzerland — where Woods was at a rehab facility in Zurich after his March 27 DUI arrest.

Why it matters

Woods, 50, was wearing a black hat with a black vest, long-sleeve shirt, gray shorts and sunglasses.

Common ground

He also had a sleeve on his surgically repaired right leg that was shattered in a 2021 car crash.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
