Masters 2018: Tiger Woods makes exciting claim about his chances at Augusta
The 42-year-old made his long-awaited comeback at the Hero World Challenge last year with all eyes on how he would cope after having back surgery just under a year ago.
There was promising signs from Woods but many pundits and former players were still sceptical on raising hopes.
But his recent performances at the Valspar Championship and Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he went into the final round of both tournaments in contention to win, have resurrected Tiger Mania in America.
Woods does’t qualify for the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play this week and will skip the Houston Open, meaning his next focus is the 2018 Masters, which will be the first time he competes at Augusta since 2015.
The 14-time major champion admits it has been hard watching from afar in recent years and wants to make up for lost time.
