Even as the dark ages continue to engulf his comeback, Tiger Woods remains hopeful. He is hopeful that his 26th appearance at the Masters will result in much more than a cut made. Despite the widespread air of “the Tiger era is over” among fans, the 82-time professional player is determined to not let his back-to-back withdrawals in the past few months overshadow his chances at the Augusta National Golf Course.

“If everything comes together, I think I can get one more,” said the 5-time Masters winner. Should Tiger Woods achieve his goal of a resurgence and make his 24th consecutive cut, he will surpass Fred Couples’ record of 23 consecutive cuts made at the Masters, establishing himself as the player with the most consecutive cuts made.

But according to the Dad on Tour with whom Woods shares a familial relationship, “Tiger has his mind on much more than the weekend.” In fact, Couples saw him play nine holes on Tuesday and witnessed an extremely improved game where “he never mishit a shot,” which led him to believe that, “He [Tiger Woods] is here to win. He’s here to play really, really hard.”

Undoubtedly, Woods’s approach this year would be for much more than just making the cut but if we are to trust sources, “everything comes together,” he is looking at another Masters win in hopes of reinstating himself as the ‘Tiger of the Golf Jungle.’

But what about his previous broken promise of playing one event per month in 2024?

Although he faced misfortune at the Geneva Invitational and hasn’t been able to compete in any events since then, his passion for sports hasn’t wavered. Justifying his recent position and making another promise to appear in all major championships through July, he said, “Well, I wasn’t ready to play. My body wasn’t ready. My game wasn’t ready. And I thought that when I was at Hero, once a month would be a really nice rhythm. Hasn’t worked out that way. But now we have major championships every month from here through July, so now the once-a-month hopefully kicks in.”

It remains to be seen whether Woods will be able to stand true to his promise this time around, or it will add to the pre-existing heap of crushed dreams and promises.
