According to ESPN, a source revealed that he played 18 holes at the Augusta with his son and friend Justin Thomas. “He played every one of them,” the close source disclosed to ESPN. “He looked good to me.”

If we are to believe this source, the chances of him playing at the Masters is high. However, nothing can be decided until Woods make an official announcement.

Woods hasn’t played an official tournament in a year following his car accident in 2021 and injured his leg. He had played the PNC Championship with his son last December, in which he proved that his golfing skills are intact. However, it was a 36-hole tournament, and Woods used a golf cart to move around.

The Masters is a 72-hole event, and the August National is known for its steep hills and length, and walking on it would be difficult for Woods if he is not as healthy as he was before the accident.
