Masters 2022: Tiger Woods practicing at Augusta National in attempt to play major next week

Woods appears to be making an effort to play in the 2022 Masters

The world has been on alert across the last few days as we wait for Tiger Woods to announce whether he will play the 2022 Masters at Augusta National. After rumors swirled across the last week given Woods was seen practicing at his home course of Medalist in South Florida, he has now been spotted in Augusta, Georgia, after taking a flight to the site of the Masters. 

Woods is reportedly in town with his son, Charlie, and friend Justin Thomas, according to Sports Illustrated. He is playing Augusta National on Tuesday in an attempt to get some prep work in ahead of the 86th edition of the tournament. It was previously reported that Woods was joined by his caddie, Joe LaCava, at Medalist for some practice; however, it was actually friend and confidant Rob McNamara who walked with Woods, a source tells CBS Sports.

Of course, none of this means the five-time Masters champion has officially decided to play the tournament, but it sure is a lot of smoke for there not to also be a fire, especially from somebody who has those five green jackets in 23 appearances.
