Tiger Woods has said he plans to compete in the 86th Masters Tournament this week, less than 14 months after the golfer suffered serious injuries in a horrific car crash.
The 15-time major winner, who feared shortly after the accident in February 2021 that his right leg would have to be amputated, has not contested a top-level event since the 2020 Masters, which was played in November that year.
“As of right now I feel like I am going to play,” Woods said in his pre-tournament press conference.
The 46-year-old, who competed in the PNC Championship with son Charlie in December, played a practice round at Augusta last week and nine holes on both Sunday and Monday.
Asked if he thought he could win a 16th major title this week, Woods said: “I do.”
