Beijing time on April 6, 2019, Tiger Woods made it clear in an interview that he would make a comeback at the Masters this week, the first major event he participated in after a serious car accident in February 2021.
Five-time champion Woods announced the news on Tuesday local time, saying he plans to return to the court at this week's Masters. But before he makes his final decision, Woods will have another 9-hole training session on Wednesday, after woods has completed 9-hole training for two consecutive days.
In February last year, Woods was driving his own Geniseth GV80 car and suffered a serious car accident outside Los Angeles. Woods had fractured both legs, including a serious injury to his right leg. The serious car accident made many people pessimistic about Woods' career, and at that time, some media predicted that Woods might not be able to return to the field.
But Woods, with his tenacious willpower, made a comeback in December last year, partnering his son Charlie in the PNC Challenge in Florida. At that time, Woods and his son won the second place, and after the game, Woods made it clear that he was not ready to compete with the top players.
After another few months of recovery, Woods appeared in Augusta, Georgia, in a private jet last week, sparking speculation among many. Finally, on Tuesday local time, Woods announced that he would play in the Masters.
This will be Woods' 24th appearance in the Masters, after 22 promotions in the previous 23 appearances, 12 top five and five championships, of which Woods is ranked second in terms of number of championships, behind Nicklaus the Golden Bears in 6.
