Is Tiger Woods playing in this year’s Masters?
Tiger Woods will not be playing in the 2025 Masters after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon.
That didn't stop him from making an April Fools joke about competing in the tournament...
As a former Masters winner, having won the Green Jacket five times, Woods has a lifetime invitation to play in the tournament every year.
Woods, who won his first Green Jacket in 1997 at 21 years old, has never missed the Masters cut in 24 starts as a professional. In last year’s tournament, he finished 16-over 304, the highest 72-hole score of his career.
