Tigermania returned to Augusta National in full force on Monday as a cagey Tiger Woods kept the golf world guessing on whether he will be in the Masters field.
The Woods watch moved into overdrive as hordes of spectators flooded into Augusta National to catch a glimpse of the 15-time major winner who has kept fans in suspense, saying on Sunday his Masters participation will be a"game-time decision."
The car crash that 14 months ago had threatened to take Woods' right leg and left him in hospital for three weeks and then confined to a hospital-type bed at home for three months seemed a distant misfortune on a picture perfect Monday. While Woods was tight-lipped, one of his playing partners is certain of what will happen on Thursday.
"What's impressive is Tiger won't play here unless he thinks he can win," said three-time major winner Padraig Harrington."It looks like he'll tee it up, and if he does, he feels like he can win, and that's impressive."If Woods, who was noticeably limping at the end of nine holes, does commit to play it would be his first official tournament since defending his title at the 2020 Masters, played in November due to Covid-19.
