Tiger Woods plans to play the 86th Masters starting Thursday at Augusta National, making an incredible return to competition 14 months after suffering severe right leg injuries in a car crash.
The 15-time major champion plans to play a nine-hole practice round on Wednesday and will make a final decision after seeing how his body recovers from that effort.
"I can hit it just fine," Woods said."I don't have any qualms about what I can do golf-wise. Walking is the hard part." "That was a tough road," Woods said."To say I was going to be here playing... I would have said very unlikely."
