A relaxed Tiger Woods was in fine form in his Masters press conference, making awaiting journalists laugh at questions about his body.
The golf legend is set to take to the course at Augusta National this week to make his 26th appearance at the tournament.
Woods has continuously struggled with serious injuries since his life-threatening car crash in 2021, playing only once on the PGA Tour this year.
Following surgery on his ankle, he made his comeback to action at the Genesis Invitational in February before having to pull out due to illness.
But now he’s back in full health and has been explaining to the media how his body is feeling ahead of The Masters.
Replying to a journalist’s question about how he feels over his shots, Woods replied with a smile: “Every shot that is not on a tee box is a challenge – once we start the hole, it’s a bit of a challenge.”
It drew a giggle from the press room as Woods went on to explain his current physical condition.
He added: “I have an amazing medical staff which has helped me get through this…and it’s a daily adaption.
“My practice sessions certainly aren’t what they used to be – I used to live out on the range or short game all day.
“Hopefully, I’ve made those adaptations for this week.”
The 48-year-old then went on to speak about his Masters hopes this week, as he steps out aiming to win his fifth title at Augusta.
Despite his continued injury issues, he still believes he can win one more title to add to his collection.
“If everything comes together, I think I can get one more,” Woods said.
“This tournament has meant so much to me in my life, and my family.
“It’s been a part of my life to have won here in my first major as a pro.
“I always want to keep playing in this.”
Woods’ chances of coming out on top against such tough competition are slim, but what a story it would be if he could out on that green jacket one more time.
