Will Woods Be Seen at This Year's Masters?
Included Names on Masters Official Website
Focus on Masters as Players Withdraw from The Players Championship
Current List of Masters Participants: 83 Players
The "Golf Emperor" Tiger Woods (USA) is increasingly likely to participate in the "Masters Legends" tournament.
The official Masters website included Woods' name on the list of participants posted on the 20th (local time). The website listed 17 names under the category "Past champions not participating," but Woods' name was placed under the participating players section. This year, the tournament will be held over four days starting April 11 at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, USA.
The Masters grants lifetime entry to anyone who has won even once. Many past champions do not participate due to old age or other reasons. In such cases, they notify their withdrawal in advance. Woods has not given any notice of withdrawal, which means he is likely to participate. Although he has not officially announced his participation yet, the probability of his appearance is high.
Woods has stated that he will participate in all four major tournaments this season, including the Masters. He withdrew from last month's PGA Tour Genesis Invitational due to the flu but had no major issues walking the course or swinging. Woods was also a possible contender for The Players Championship, which ended on the 18th, but it seems he chose to skip it to focus more on the Masters.
