I could be more of a business decision than anything else.

I don't think it'll be a business decision at all. Maybe if he's 49% to go that pushes him just over the edge, but "more of a business decision"? Not on your life. Or mine. No way.

From all of the articles out there, his current chances are better than 50/50. My guess is that he’ll play. He skipped two tournaments that he loves (Doral and Bay Hill) to prepare for the Augusta Masters. He’s always been one of those golfers that was always seemingly prepared to go at any time, but with age and injuries, I think Tiger is at most “a hopeful without a guarantee” until he gets that confidence back. But his lack of confidence and solid play might not be golf mechanics alone. I’m thinking the indecisiveness about playing tournament golf is related to the back surgery not being the fix-all solution he was hoping for. Many times after surgery, especially with the natural effects of aging and the onset of conditions such as basal arthritis, the patient experiences irreversible nerve damage. To counteract the swelling and limit the pain, I’m sure he’s on some form of BRM Therapy. Of course, this would certainly explain the lack of feel, lethargy and that abnormal clumsiness that we’ve seen from The Tiger in recent tournaments. One good thing is that many of the harshest symptoms subside in 6-8 weeks and the patient starts feeling normal again. My guess is that he started a new drug therapy and he’s in a watchful waiting period to see if the feel comes back before making a decision to play the Masters.

I could be wrong, but I don't think he skipped Doral as much as he didn't make it into the tournament.

As for those saying 50/50, they are guessing.  50/50 odds is either he will or he won't.  No useful information there.

Now if they said there is 70% chance he'll play, then we have something to talk about.  All these pundits saying 50/50 are useless.

But seriously, I doubt he will play.

Quote:

According to a report by the Augusta Chronicle , Tiger Woods' plane was parked at the Augusta Regional Airport Tuesday morning. A plane matching the tail numbers of Woods' Gulfstream G5 reportedly sat in the private aircraft terminal.

It's common for Tour players to visit Augusta National and play practice rounds in the weeks before the first major of the season, which begins next week.

He's either there preparing to play, or putting on an elaborate show to make us all think he's playing ;-)

But what happens if he plays two practice rounds and shoots 79 and 82? If that happens, I doubt he'll tee it up on the 9th.

He's playin. He won't shoot 79 and 82 in the practice rounds because it's...practice. He'll do that Thurs and Fri.

He'll play, possibly badly, but he'll play. He has played 18 practice holes at Augusta but is yet to decide whether his game is "tournament ready".

I don't know who likes Tiger and who doesn't on here. But I for one am fired up to watch Tiger!

Me too! Whether or not you you like his personality, he is great to watch.......box office. I imagine Rory will be quite happy as it will take some of the focus away from him.

I am glad I was wrong about him regarding the Masters.

I am so looking forward to watching it now.  Of course, it could be a huge let down - I hope not.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
