Tiger Woods hurts ‘every day,’ but believes he can win one more Masters

These days, Tiger Woods merely being among the field at The Masters is a story in itself, but the five-time champion insists he’s not returning to Augusta National to make up the numbers – he’s playing to win.
These days, Tiger Woods merely being among the field at The Masters is a story in itself, but the five-time champion insists he’s not returning to Augusta National to make up the numbers – he’s playing to win. The 48-year-old will tee up for the 26th time at the 88th edition of the prestigious tournament on Thursday, marking only his second competitive appearance of the season and his first major start since last year’s event in Georgia. There, Woods withdrew during his third round after much limping, a painfully familiar sight in the 15-time major champion’s sporadic tournament appearances since suffering serious leg injuries in a 2021 car crash. Doubts swirled as to whether he had played his final Masters – even Woods suggested it before the tournament began – but one year on, he is back and eyeing up Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of six green jackets. “If everything comes together, I think I can get one more. Do I need to describe that any more than that, or are we good?” Woods, smiling, told reporters Tuesday. “I still think that I can [win],” he added. “I haven’t got to that point where I don’t think I can’t.”
