With just two weeks left until the 88th Masters, there are signs that Tiger Woods will make his long-awaited return to Augusta National Golf Club. Woods’ plane was scheduled to land in Augusta on Saturday morning, according to reports from ESPN and the X account Radaratlas2. Will this be the final preparation for April 11th? This will be the 26th Masters start for the five-time champion, who has always expressed his love for the course and the tournament.
“I’ve always loved this golf course and I love playing this tournament,” Woods said after the second round in 2023. “Obviously I missed a few games due to injury, but I always wanted to play here. I like it.”
Woods withdrew from the 2023 Masters after 54 holes due to a recurrence of plantar fasciitis. He finished 47th in 2022, but has a chance to break a new record in 2024. If he accomplishes this, it will be his 24th consecutive Masters finish, surpassing Gary Player and Fred Peirce (23). Woods’ only failure at Augusta came in 1996, his second career start.
