Masters appear to confirm Tiger Woods playing decision before himself with 2024 list
Tiger Woods, 48, is expected to compete in the middle of April, according to the official Masters website. The golf legend seems prepared to forego March contests in order to get ready.
The 15-time major champion is technically registered as a player in the Masters that takes place next month, even though Woods hasn’t given his official confirmation. The decision to forego competition in March in order to focus on The Masters would contradict Woods’ 2024 ambitions.
After making a comeback to professional golf in 2024, Woods had wanted to participate in one tournament every month. This was after a vehicle accident in California in 2021 left him with severe leg injuries. “Once a month seems reasonable,” said Woods in an interview with the Golf Channel. It allows me a week to tune up and a few weeks to recuperate. Perhaps I can settle into the beat.”
In the first few months of 2024, Woods has also been ill; in February, the flu forced him to miss The Genesis Invitational.
The golf legend also did not attend the TPC Sawgrass Players Championship. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, however, is still upbeat about Woods’ career prospects.
“I believe that everyone is aware of Tiger’s desire to gain a spot in every competition. That is his character,” Monahan remarked. However, I believe that as you move forward and develop as a company, you consider how to appease and cater to a devoted fan base.
More generally, those conversations would probably take place during the policy board meeting. We would undoubtedly have that conversation. He would be the most difficult to persuade, though.
