Just two weeks ahead of the highly anticipated Masters tournament, a substantial update on Tiger Woods has surfaced, stirring excitement and speculation throughout the golfing world.
Tiger Woods, the legendary golfer, is intensifying his preparations for a comeback at The Masters tournament, scheduled from April 11th to 14th. Reports indicate that Woods, 48, is actively scouting Augusta National today, signaling his determination to compete in the season’s first major event.
Since withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational in February due to illness, Woods has been out of competitive action. His absence extended to The Masters last year, where he had to bow out before the final round due to a plantar fasciitis injury. Nevertheless, his track record at Augusta is impressive, having made 23 consecutive cuts, a feat he shares with Gary Player and Fred Couples.
Following his Masters withdrawal in 2023, Woods underwent ankle surgery and opted for a season-long hiatus to facilitate recovery. He made a return to the course in December of the same year, finishing 18th in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Additionally, Woods teamed up with his son, Charlie Woods, for the PNC Championship, securing a top-five finish.
Looking ahead, Woods has his sights set on the 2024 Masters, as his name features on the entry list for the tournament. Today, news emerged from the TW Legion Twitter account that Woods is actively engaging in practice rounds at Augusta National, further affirming his commitment to reclaiming glory at the prestigious event.
With five Masters titles under his belt (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2019), Woods remains one of the most decorated golfers in the sport’s history. Although Jack Nicklaus holds the record for the most green jackets with six, Woods’ legacy at Augusta is unparalleled. His upcoming appearance at The Masters will mark his 26th outing at the iconic tournament, underscoring his enduring presence in the world of golf.
