Tiger Woods has refused to close the door on a potential return to competitive golf at The Masters, stating that while his recovery continues, a participation at Augusta National remains possible.
In a recent interview, the legendary golfer confirmed he is capable of hitting full shots, though he acknowledged the consistency is not yet where it needs to be. “Not well every day, but I can hit them,” Woods explained when asked about his ability to execute full shots.
Masters Remains in Play
When directly asked whether The Masters is off the table for his comeback, Woods was emphatic: “No.”
The response signals that Woods is taking his recovery one step at a time, with the Augusta National tournament still within the realm of possibility. His cautious optimism reflects the ongoing nature of his rehabilitation process, as he works to regain the form necessary for competitive play at the highest level.
Woods has a storied history at The Masters, having won the green jacket five times and consistently performed at the event throughout his career. The tournament typically takes place in April, providing a potential timeline for his return to action on the PGA Tour.
For now, Woods appears focused on continuing his incremental progress toward full recovery rather than committing to any specific tournaments.
