Several people claim to have seen Tiger Woods and his faithful caddy, Joe LaCava, repeatedly this week walking on the Medalist course where the American is used to training. Ten days before the Masters and while his name is still on the list of starters, can we believe in a return of the Tiger?
Thunderbolt! Everyone in golf is in turmoil.
This is the account Twitter The Fried Egg which first reported this information on Sunday. Tiger Woods would have surveyed several times this week the course of the Medalist Golf Club located not far from where he resides, in Jupiter (Florida). His shopping cart, Joe La Cavais also around.
Have heard from multiple people in South Florida that Tiger Woods has been out walking Medalist multiple times this week. Joey was also in town to walk.

After repeating several times that it was far too early to consider playing in the tournament again, is Tiger Woods preparing to make an early return to competition in 10 days at Augusta for the first major of the season?
In any case, that is what his many fans hope, even if many point out that the course of the Augusta National is much more hilly and therefore more difficult for his injured leg than that of the Medalist GC.
Let’s just pause for a moment to appreciate how insane it is that there is non-crazy talk about Tiger playing in the Masters. Truly, truly remarkable.
Surely just attacking rehab every single day. The man doesn’t know how to do anything halfway.

The master of clocks
Since his terrible car accident in February 2021 and his return to the game with his son Charlie last December, Tiger Woods has never ceased to temper the ardor of those who dream of seeing him triumph again against the best.
“I will come back to the PGA Tour but not full time, I will only play a few tournaments”, had he warned Hero World Challenge during his first public appearance.
“My goal at the moment is to be able to walk. There is still a long way to go before I can really train and consider playing in a tournament,” he explained during the Genesis Invitational in the month of February.
Answers that left very little hope of finding him on the tee at the Augusta National Golf Club in early April. But we know that Tiger Woods is a past master in the art of mastering his communication and likes more than anything to be one step ahead, especially with the media.
The presence of his name in the list of participants while that of Phil Mickelson was removed earlier this week is another clue to a possible last minute twist!
