Tiger Woods hasn’t formally introduced that he’ll be within the area for the 2024 Masters Match, however he might not must.
The official Masters website up to date its gamers tab this week and included Woods within the 85-man area. Below the 48-year-old’s biography, it says “Tiger Woods is making his twenty sixth Masters look.”
This may be nice information for golf followers all over the place, particularly contemplating we’ve not seen Woods since he withdrew from The Genesis Invitational in February because of sickness. The 15-time main winner shot a 1-over 72 within the first spherical however could not end the second spherical of the event.
Woods determined to not play within the Arnold Palmer Invitational or The Gamers Championship this month, which is shocking based mostly on his feedback relating to his PGA Tour schedule. In December, Woods mentioned he needs to play in a single event each month for the 2024 season.
“As soon as a month appears cheap,” Woods instructed Golf Channel on the Hero World Problem (h/t Reuters). “It offers me a few weeks to get better and per week to tune up. Possibly I can get into the rhythm.”
Nicely, that hasn’t precisely panned out. Woods did not play in any respect in January, completed only one spherical in February and did not play in March. He made solely six whole begins from 2021-2023 and withdrew early from two of them, so anticipating to play as soon as a month in 2024 was a lofty objective for the oft-injured legend.
Many followers anticipated Woods to attempt his hand on the API or Gamers in March due to his earlier feedback, however one thing has saved him from returning to competitors. Though his WD at Genesis wasn’t associated to an harm, it is truthful to surprise if Woods would not really feel snug together with his again and ankle holding up in a busy schedule.
We anticipate Woods to stay to a majors-only schedule till he offers us a motive to imagine in any other case.
