The exciting news has arrived for all golf enthusiasts out there - Tiger Woods, a legend in the world of golf, has been listed as active for the current Masters Tournament field list by the PGA Tour. This means that we may just see him compete in the prestigious Augusta National next month, with pre-tournament dates of April 8-10.
However, some may remember that the 48-year-old golfer suffered an injury last year during the third round of the 2023 Masters, where he stated that he had plantar fasciitis. After pulling out of the tournament, he underwent surgery on his ankle. But with determination and hard work, he made a comeback and played at the Hero World Challenge and PNC Championship last fall. And just last month, he made his first tour start since the surgery at The Genesis Invitational. Although he opened with a 1-over 72, he unfortunately had to withdraw from the tournament on the seventh hole of the second round. The Bleacher Report reveals that the 2023 Masters was the only PGA tournament he participated in last year, after competing in the Masters, PGA Championship, and Open Championship the previous year in 2022.
Since The Genesis Invitational, Tiger has not made another tour start. However, there is speculation that he will return to the Augusta National, especially now that his name is on the Masters Tournament list. But of course, Tiger has not confirmed his participation.
In an exciting turn of events, it was announced last month that Tiger, along with other PGA Tour players, will now become equity holders in PGA Tour Enterprises, a newly established for-profit company. This comes after a remarkable $3 billion investment from the Strategic Sports Group, as reported by MSN. This groundbreaking deal marks a significant moment in sports history, as the players will now own a share of the PGA Tour - a concept that has never been seen before in professional sports.
Now, let's talk about Tiger's impressive record at the Masters. He has played in 25 Masters and has won an incredible five times. He is now only one win away from matching Jack Nicklaus' record of six green jackets. In addition, he is also tied with Fred Couples and Gary Player for making the cut in 23 consecutive starts at the Augusta National.
With all these exciting developments, we can't wait to see what Tiger has in store for us at the Masters next month. Will he add another green jacket to his collection? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure - Tiger Woods will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of golf.
