Ever since Tiger Woods went to Augusta National last week to see if he could handle playing the course we’ve been waiting for the GOAT to make an announcement on whether or not he will be playing in this year’s Masters, which starts Thursday.
We finally got an update from Tiger on Sunday morning. The GOAT tweeted some news, saying he’s heading back to Augusta today where he will continue to prepare and practice before making a decision later this week.
Tiger, of course, suffered serious leg injuries in a car accident last year and has only played in the PNC Championship (where he was allowed to use a cart) with his son, Charlie, last December.
Here’s Tiger’s update:
I will be heading up to Augusta today to continue my preparation and practice. It will be a game-time decision on whether I compete. Congratulations to 16-year-old Anna Davis on an amazing win at the @anwagolf and good luck to all the kids in the @DriveChipPutt.

It’s amazing that he’s even this close to being able to play considering everything he’s been through because of that car accident.
All eyes are going to be on his every move this week. It’s going to be an unreal few days for practice rounds at Augusta.
Oh, and Tiger will be having his Masters press conference at 11 a.m. on Tuesday:
Welp, Tiger Woods is officially in the Masters pre-tournament press conference lineup: Tuesday 11 a.m. 🍿

I have goosebumps.
Golf fans had reactions.
Game-time decision. Gimme ALL of the pre-tourney intrigue. Hope he can play. Fired up to get there. https://t.co/wZMSWJqrgH

Tiger Woods officially a "game-time decision" for the Masters which means a LOT of analyzing how he's walking these next few days.
Unless something happens, I think he'll play. Sources familiar with his practice have said he has speed and his game looks good. Now, we wait…

First game time decision in Golf history? Just building the suspense for either the ultimate payoff or ultimate disappointment. https://t.co/iedXg1eNWS

Tiger coming up today – Sunday – is a strong indication he is fit to play #theMasters. He says it’s a “game-time decision” which is just to allow for the possibility his leg doesn’t hold up after four days of practice https://t.co/7aTe20ivSV

He’s saying there’s still a chance. Best of luck in your recovery TW! https://t.co/ULXq1Jc9U6
