I honestly didn't think it was physically possible for Tiger to compete, given his horrible car accident last year.
But the legend says he's gonna be in Augusta to see what happens!
The Masters official account also welcomed him back.
If you're wondering, yes, that is actually him out on the course on Sunday.
From The New York Times:
After his 16-minute session on the range, a laughing Woods waved to reporters standing nearby and headed for Augusta National Golf Club's back nine for a practice round. Still unknown is whether Woods will play in this year's Masters Tournament, which begins Thursday.
Woods suffered severe injury to his right leg in the crash, requiring extensive surgical intervention. Still, The Times noted that he seemed to walk pretty normally for having been through such an ordeal.
He walked onto the wide Augusta National practice range at 3:21 p.m. wearing a coral shirt, black pants and black shoes [I love the specificity lolol]. His gait was ever so slightly stilted when his right foot contacted the grass, but when he swung the golf club — beginning with a wedge, then longer irons, fairways woods and a driver — he looked smooth, pushing off his right foot to successfully balance on his left foot to make the swing complete.
So will he compete??
I guess we'll have to wait for Thursday to find out!
