Based on what we’ve heard so far this week, Tiger Woods will be the least surprised person at Augusta if he’s wearing more green come Sunday night. adam_stanley from TheMasters:
Woods, according to Justin Thomas, who played with Woods and 1992 Masters champion Fred Couples during practice rounds on Monday and Wednesday, isn’t being as helpful to his fellow playing competitors as in years’ past.The last time we saw Woods on a golf course in Georgia was at last fall’s Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, the setting for Woods’ 80th PGA Tour win, his first in five years.
Tiger is 43. He’s a broken man – physically, yes, but with emotional scars that may never heel either – and the competition has caught up with him. He hasn’t won a major in more than a decade, but while he quite literally destroyed Augusta National en route to winning by 12 shots in 1997 , length is no longer his greatest asset: he’s just 44th on the PGA Tour in 2019 in driving distance.
Instead of dominating with distance, Woods will rely on experience this week – something he has plenty of at Augusta National. But this week at Tuesday night’s annual dinner, incredibly, Woods was the highest-ranked golfer in the world in the room. Higher than Spieth, last year’s winner Patrick Reed, Watson and Mickelson.
