Tiger Woods name included in latest 2024 Masters field list
Tiger Woods himself has been back in the game for a few months now after his rehabilitation. Recently, the Augusta Masters also released the first list of golfers that will be a part of the 2024 Masters, in which Woods' name also made an appearance.
There has been eager anticipation to see Woods play at the Masters this year, after he withdrew last year due to pain in his ankle. Since then, he has undergone surgery as well as rehabilitation and might be able to play the entire tournament.
Woods has won the Masters 5 times, and has received Past champions status for this year's Masters. With Woods' withdrawal from the Genesis Invitational earlier this year, he will be looking to have a better tournament experience at the Masters.
