The five-time champion, who hasn't played since the Genesis in February, spent some time chipping and putting Sunday.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Following a familiar formula, Tiger Woods arrived at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday afternoon, bypassed the practice area, went to the putting green near the clubhouse, then headed out onto the course—with only a few clubs.
The five-time Masters champion returned to the place where he has produced so much glory and headed out to do what he’s done in recent years—spend time chipping and putting around the greens in preparation for the tournament, which begins Thursday. With him was his caddie, Lance Bennett, who worked for him at the Genesis Invitational in February, and his friend and business associate, Rob McNamara, who serves as Woods’s de facto coach.But Woods was suffering from the injuries caused during a 2021 car crash and ended up withdrawing during a delay of the third round last year.
Woods did come to Augusta National on a scouting trip on March 30 and showing up on Sunday was another good sign. This will be just his seventh official tournament start since returning at the 2022 Masters following the car crash 14 months earlier.Coby White is set to return and says he dodged a bullet in a nasty fall vs. the Indiana Pacers
