Tiger Woods’ confidence is unwavering as he eyes The Masters title, despite battling injuries and undergoing extensive rehabilitation in recent years. His close confidant, Fred Couples, echoes this sentiment, expressing full belief in Woods’ ability to triumph at Augusta.
Observing Woods alongside Justin Thomas during a practice round at Augusta National, Couples marveled at Woods’ precision and consistency, noting that Woods never seems to miss a shot. Even though Woods hit a tree during their round, Couples was impressed by the sound of the ball off his club.
Should Woods make the cut this week, he would set a Masters record with 24 consecutive weekends made, surpassing Couples’ own record set in 2007 and tying Gary Player’s record of 23 made cuts in a row. Reflecting on Woods’ withdrawal last year due to an ankle injury, Couples acknowledged the toll it took on Woods but remains optimistic about his chances this time around.
Despite ongoing concerns about Woods’ ankle, Couples believes that Woods’ determination to compete in all 72 holes signals his readiness to contend. Despite recent setbacks, Woods’ commitment to preparation and his undeniable talent leave Couples confident that Woods will be a force to be reckoned with at the 2024 Masters.
