Fourteen months after his catastrophic car crash, a comeback for Woods at Augusta is hotly anticipated. He says he will make a \u0027game\u002Dtime\u0027 decision
So let the hype begin. In truth, it had already built to fever pitch since rumours started of a quicker-than-expected return from the catastrophic injuries he suffered to his right leg in a car crash 14 months ago. Woods played a practice round alongside his 12-year-old son Charlie here last Tuesday and told friends such as Rory McIlroy that he was confident enough in his game being ready, but was there to check if his body could take the strain of walking for four days.
With the red-shirted one, there never has been much need for an excuse to press the “ballyhoo” button, but, if he comes through these next few days, this will be a truly remarkable resurrection. At the time of that single-vehicle accident there were first justifiable fears that amputation would be required and then, when the limb was saved, whether he could ever play “soccer” with his children.
However, if he is to do the unthinkable and prevail among these cathedral pines once more, this would surely top them all. He would be tying Jack Nicklaus’s record of six Masters titles and close within two of his historical nemesis in the charts of the outright major haul. However, it would be even bigger than that and, excuse the OTT nature of the speculation, but the build-up to Thursday’s first round will inevitably be monopolized by grand pronouncements of what is possible.
The damaged car of Tiger Woods is towed away after he was involved in a car crash, near Los Angeles, California, U.S., February 23, 2021.At that stage, as TV pictures of the mangled wreckage were beamed around the globe, this scenario was more than his sport could have dreamt. In the meantime, Woods has played only in the PGA Tour’s father-and-son event in December — albeit extremely impressively as he and Charlie finished second — and has not competed officially for 17 months.
