The Masters will get underway this week and Tiger Woods is set to be part of the field.
The golfing icon has continued to struggle with serious injuries since his life-threatening car crash in 2021 and has only made one PGA Tour appearance this year.
It was after The Masters last spring that the 48-year-old was forced to have surgery on his ankle and he is still recovering from that procedure now.
Woods made his comeback over the winter but was forced to withdraw from the Genesis Invitational due to illness in mid-February and hasn’t played since.
Is Tiger Woods playing at The Masters?
The tee times for The Masters and not be confirmed yet.
However, the 15-time major champion is currently in the tournament’s official field and is expected to feature.
He has not played at a tournament since withdrawing from the Genesis in February.
Woods opted to not feature in The Players Championship last month and he seems to have his focus set on playing at Augusta again.
The legend played a practice round at the famous venue on Sunday and looked fit and healthy.
He has been reported to have been training in the gym until 4am to get himself in the best possible condition for the tournament.
Woods was forced to pull out of last year’s Masters after suffering from pain throughout.
He pulled out due to plantar fasciitis and then decided to go through surgery to fix the issue.
He then had seven months away from the sport after the procedure but he is now back and fighting to be fit.
And things are looking positive as he aims to feature in what will be his 26th appearance at the tournament.
