Woods is a player who has been getting back into form after a Plantar Fasciitis injury forced him to withdraw from the 2023 Masters after playing seven holes into the third round.
Here is everything you need to know about the 48-year-old is looking to compete at a high level and complete 72 holes at the Masters for the first time since 2022, which was one year after his near-fatal single vehicle accident. That forced him to miss the Masters in 2021.
Tiger Woods is gearing up to the Masters in 2024. There have been reports that Woods has been playing practice rounds at Augusta National to prepare himself for the 72 holes that highlight undulations both on the course and throughout the property, walking from shot to shot.
On April 5, Augusta National announced its pre-tournament interview schedule and Woods is slated to speak to the media at 11 a.m. on Tuesday to clearly give the indication that he will play the Masters.
In 2023, Woods made the cut on the number at +3 after shooting 74-73 through the first 36 holes. The year prior, the 1995 low amateur shot a 1-under 71 in the first round before a 2-over 74 to comfortably make the weekend at Augusta.
He had another setback in February when he withdrew in the second round from the Genesis Invitational after contracting the flu as a result of being dehydrated.
Since then, Woods had not played in an event on the PGA Tour schedule, which was opposite to his desired scheduled to play one tournament a month. This meant skipping out on the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which he has won eight times, or the Players Championship, which he has won twice.
