Woods Announces Masters Appearance... Practice Round at Augusta
Focus on the Masters After Withdrawing from The Players Championship
Tiger Woods (USA) was spotted practicing at Augusta, increasing the likelihood of his participation in the Masters.
On the 15th (local time), the American sports magazine Sports Illustrated reported, "Woods visited Augusta National Golf Club, where the Masters is held, on the 10th for a practice round." That day was the first round of The Players Championship, which offers the highest prize money on the PGA Tour. Woods had initially been listed as a participant in the tournament but suddenly notified that he would not compete on the day the final roster was confirmed.
