Tiger Woods told reporters at Augusta National on Tuesday he plans to play in The Masters. Groups will tee off for the first round in fewer than two days.
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA - APRIL 03: Tiger Woods of the United States walks from the practice area prior to the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on April 03, 2022 in Augusta, Georgia.
Then, he didn’t work on finger strength, and that led to a popping sound in his wrist before his TV match against Brooks Koepka in Las Vegas last November. That led to a hairline fracture of his hamate bone in his left hand. And then he slipped on marble while playing table tennis is Saudi Arabia in early February, went horizontal and landed on his hand and his hip.
Playing the Masters was a "huge risk" a few weeks ago and a decision he said his doctors did not recommend. He was day to day until he felt comfortable giving it a go. Brooks Koepka knows a thing or two about playing with injury, even if not as many were people were paying attention.
