It will be almost Thanksgiving by the time Tiger is no longer Masters champion — unless he wins again, which means he would have less than five months before April 2021 to try to do it again.

Last month, after the Masters became one of many sporting events to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, it didn’t take long for astute fans to realize one of the fascinating unintended consequences of the decision:When Augusta National announced earlier this week that it was moving the Masters to Nov.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This long, uncertain break as the nation has shut down due to the pandemic has to be helping the oft-injured Tiger gear up for what very well could be the most bizarre golf season we have ever seen. But he said this week that he would have been ready for the Masters had it been played as usual in April. “Night and day,” he told GolfTV of the change in his health over the past month or so. “I feel a lot better than I did then.”

The Masters will always be Tiger’s best chance to win a major every year. When he’s 50, as long as he’s healthy, his name will rise onto the leaderboard one day or another, just as has happened with Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer. Tiger was made for the Masters, and vice versa. As things stand now, he would have a little more than a month between the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open, but then no time off at all between the Open and the Ryder Cup, which could be a challenge for him physically. But then comes good news: he would have six weeks until the Masters.

3 in a row TigerWoods

No matter what it's great for golf to have him back,plus still shows how good he is still,seems to always show up at Majors, which we all dig the hell out of it. Keep plugging away TW.. some of us think you still have a few more Major wins in ya...👍👍

He'll do what he always does when he starts playing badly, blames it on his bad back and quits half way through

In the meantime he can play with the medal Donald Trump gave him, the same Trump who cares not a wit about people of color. Wonder what it feels like to be an uncle tom

this is undeserved - all golf knowledger’s agree that Presidend Trump is he better golfer of the to but can not apply to enter the master’s as he is busy and locked down
