Tiger Woods will be back for the Masters.
Mike Weir wouldn’t be surprised to see the name Woods on the leaderboard at Augusta National next month.
The Canadian lefty fully expects Tiger Woods to make a strong return to competitive golf at the Masters, not buying into the theory that the world’s top player has erred by jumping straight into a major championship.
“He’s proven a lot of people wrong (in the past) and taken time off and been able to come back and be sharp,” Weir said in an interview Wednesday. “I know he’s probably working extremely hard right now on his game. He can draw on a lot of great memories there, the course obviously suits him really well, all of those things kind of play in his favour.
“I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if he’s competitive there. He’s been the most dominant player for the last 10, 15 years – I wouldn’t put it past him to be right in contention.”
Woods has won four green jackets and posted a top-10 finish 10 of the 13 times he’s competed in the Masters as a professional.
