The excitement for Tiger Woods’ participation in the upcoming Masters tournament soared high as soon as his private jet landed at Augusta National. Notably, the 15-time major winner has not competed professionally in the last couple of years due to leg injuries sustained during a horrible car crash.
Meanwhile, the Californian golfer was seen last Tuesday practising with his son, Charlie, and compatriot Justin Thomas. It was an encouraging sign for a player on his rehab journey ahead of the much-awaited championship.

“It meant a lot to both of us,” Woods said earlier this week, as quoted by Golf Channel. “[Charlie] had a chance to play right before the ’20 Masters, and he’s grown a lot since then, become a lot better player. It was fun to see the changes in him, and for us as a family to go out here and have Robbie out here and JT, who’s like my younger brother and Charlie’s older brother, for us to come out here and just play together, we just had a blast.”
“Charlie couldn’t help himself”
Woods, who has limited his preparation to nine-hole practice rounds on Sunday and Monday, went to the practice range on Tuesday. He played 27 holes last Tuesday with Charlie.
“That’s why I came up here and tested it out for 27 holes because we played the par-3 course. Charlie couldn’t help himself,” Woods smiled.
Lastly, the 46-year-old reckoned that he enjoyed being able to experience the unique challenge of Augusta National with his son.
“Just trying to remind him, these putts break a little more than they do back home. Florida greens are not quite like Augusta,” Woods said. “It was pretty funny, he says, ‘Just outside left?’ I said, ‘No, it’s more like 3 feet outside left.’”
