After weeks of speculation, it seems that Tiger Woods will play in the 86th Masters Tournament this Thursday — less than 14 months after a serious single-car accident.
"As of right now I feel like I am going to play," the golf icon said at a news conference Tuesday.
There were huge crowds. There were big roars. Yup, the @TigerWoods Effect was in full effect at #theMasters.
