1 minute While there remains a possibility of withdrawal before the tournament, his inclusion in the list is a positive indication
Tiger Woods appears poised for a return to the Masters this year, having been named on the entry list for the 2024 tournament. The 48-year-old, brimming with renewed hope and aspirations, had initially set a goal to participate in more tournaments regularly, aiming for one each month. However, concerns about his physical condition surfaced following his withdrawal from the Genesis Invitational.
Despite expectations to compete in the Players Championship, Woods opted out, further casting doubt on his readiness for Augusta. With the Houston Open and Texas Open remaining before the Masters kicks off on April 11, Woods is unlikely to participate in these events due to his need for recovery time post-tournament.
Nevertheless, Augusta National has confirmed his participation in this year's Masters, listing him among the 85 players set to compete as per the official Masters website.
The Masters, known for its traditionally small field, has not seen over 100 players in a single event since 1966. Woods, a former champion, enjoys the privilege of an annual invitation, offering a glimmer of hope that he might compete. While there remains a possibility of withdrawal before the tournament, his inclusion in the list is a positive indication. Angel Cabrera, another former champion, will not be participating in Augusta following his release from prison last year.
Tiger Woods Masters Odds
Tiger Woods is currently 80/1 with Boylesports to win the 2024 Masters, making him a longshot, to say the least. That price indicates that Woods has a slim 1.2% chance of clinching his 16th major victory and 7th Masters title at Augusta National, making it an improbable achievement.
