SPECIAL ENVOY TO AUGUSTA (USA)
Updated:
Keep
In the most massive press conference in memory Augusta in the last times, Tiger Woods fueled the hope of fans for 24 hours. After multiple speculations about his return to the fields after the tremendous traffic accident he suffered in The Angels 14 months ago, the former world number one neither confirmed nor denied his presence in the green tournament next Thursday.
“Today I’m here to play” revealed on the stand, which is a true declaration of intent for someone who has a completely reconstructed right leg and was about to lose it by amputation. In fact, the organization has already targeted him at the start times of the first day.
He would do it at 10:34 (local time) with Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquín Niemann. Now, facing the pessimists, he also indicated that «huntil tomorrow after practicing nine holes I will not make the final decision».
It is normal for the Californian to want to keep one last cartridge in the chamber, since he goes day by day and has to see the performance of his injured member in a route as winding as the National. But the fact of coming here and testing himself day by day is already significant in his decision.
If he finally returns to competition on Thursday, after the traffic accident that almost cost him his life, it will be his first official tournament since Masters 2020 which was played here in November due to the pandemic and his attempt to achieve his sixth Masters (the sixteenth major of his career).
