Massive Tiger Woods update emerges two weeks before The Masters

Tiger Woods, at 48, is intensifying his preparations for the upcoming Masters tournament, set to take place at Augusta National from April 11th to 14th. Despite his absence from competitive play since withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational in February due to illness, Woods is determined to make a strong return to the course. His last-minute withdrawal from The Masters in 2023 due to plantar fasciitis added to the anticipation surrounding his potential comeback this year. Despite setbacks, Woods has an impressive track record at Augusta, having made 23 consecutive cuts, tying him with legends Gary Player and Fred Couples.

Following his Masters withdrawal last year, Woods underwent ankle surgery and took the remainder of the season off to focus on recovery. He made a cautious return to action in December 2023, finishing 18th in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Additionally, he had a memorable outing alongside his son Charlie at the PNC Championship.

With his name on the entry list for the 2024 Masters, Woods is leaving no stone unturned in his preparation. Recent reports from the TW Legion Twitter account suggest that Woods is actively scouting Augusta National with a practice round scheduled for March 30th. As a five-time Masters champion, with victories in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2019, Woods’ return to the iconic course is highly anticipated.

Although Jack Nicklaus holds the record with six Masters wins, Woods’ legacy in the tournament is undeniable. His upcoming 26th appearance at Augusta National promises to be yet another chapter in his storied career, with fans eagerly awaiting his performance on the hallowed grounds of the Masters.
