Tiger Woods' Comeback at Masters 2024: Setbacks & New Strides!

Tiger Woods: The Comeback Journey Hits a Speedbump

Tiger Woods had us all dreaming of a once-a-month golf spectacle, but reality had other plans. February saw him exit early at the Genesis Invitational – a full stop thanks to an illness. Two major events, including the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he’s an eight-time champ, came and went without a Tiger sighting. Bluntly put by the man himself: ">My body wasn’t ready. My game wasn’t ready."

The Struggle Is Real: Battling Aches and Pains

Last December sparkled with hope when Woods wrapped up at the Hero World Challenge, eyeing a regular spot on the green from February through July. Turns out "things flare up," as Woods says – the back, the knee – it's all fair game. There was even a back spasm triggered shank that had him gritting his teeth. But hope springs eternal, and with major championships now every month, Tiger’s once-a-month goal is back on the docket.

• The Augusta Challenge: Bigger than those infamous hills, it's the grind on Woods' body that's the real beast. Uneven lies are no joke.
• Daily Training Battles: Some days are good, some days? Not so much. Each day’s a roll of the dice in the game of health for Woods. With a grin, he concedes, ">I hurt every day. I ache every day."

Masters 2024 is where he sets for a record 24th consecutive cut. Watch Woods tee off alongside Max Homa and Jason Day – it’s going to be a Masters to remember!
