Tiger Woods plans to play the Masters and thinks he can win

Associated Press  

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Two words can go a long way when Tiger Woods is behind them. Out of the public eye for nine months, Woods sent hopes soaring last November with a video of him swinging the club with a simple message, “Making progress.” And here he is at Augusta National, making a Monday practice round feel like Sunday at a major because of the gallery, walking the steep slopes, swinging well and making it clear he has every intention of playing in the Masters. Woods offered the shortest answer of his press conference: “I do.” He said Tuesday he is planning to play and thinks he can win. Woods plans nine more for Wednesday and then it’s “game time.” He is to tee off at 10:34 a.m. Thursday with Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquin Niemann. “And a challenge that I’m up for.” That might be the biggest reason Woods is even at Augusta National for more than the sushi and miso-glazed cod and Wagyu beef that defending champion Hideki Matsuyama put on the menu for the champions-only dinner Tuesday night.
